It came with an even fire flywheel. Should I run the rare lighter even fire flywheel? jeep937 04-03-2009, 11:20 AM My plan is to build this engine up with a cam and some head porting. I'll also be running a mini 4 barrel carb. Wouldn't the lighter flywheel let me spin up faster? oldjeep 04-03-2009, 11:34 AM Balance will be way off if you use the even fire flywheel on an oddfire. Are you sure it's an even fire flywheel and not just the lighter car type oddfire? Easy enough to tell with a picture of each side. jeep937 04-03-2009, 11:42 AM I'll snap some pics. RockJeep92504 04-03-2009, 02:55 PM Run the heaver fly wheel. Larger mass is harder to stall. I have a kenne bell 225 v6 odd fire with there mark 5 cam I love it and you can put the front bumper against a tree and let the clutch out and watch it keep on chugging. oldjeep 04-03-2009, 04:00 PM Run the heaver fly wheel.

I agree, this one that was in my cj2a would lug along forever. http://oldjeep.com/images/winter0304projects/225%20002.jpg SanDiegoCJ 04-03-2009, 06:32 PM Yes, you can run the lighter even fire flywheel, but you will HAVE TO have it rebalanced. Yes, the motor will rev up faster, but it will also stall easier if you lug it while crawling. Depends on what you want to do with the Jeep. jeep937 04-07-2009, 10:16 PM I think I'm gonna toss it in my '45 a, after a nice build up of course. The guy I got it from wants the even fire wheel for a heavy odd fire one. I've got a cheby 3 speed bell housing too I think he wants. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q282/destro937/IMG_1083.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q282/destro937/IMG_1085.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q282/destro937/IMG_0900.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q282/destro937/IMG_0903.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q282/destro937/IMG_0919.jpg jeep937 04-11-2009, 10:37 AM Anyone run this light flywheel? oldjeep 04-11-2009, 03:21 PM That's the car type odd-fire flywheel. The 55 lb Jeep 225 flywheel will help it lug better, but the one you have will work. Guessing that the motor came out of a Buikc Apollo, nice score since it already has the HEI. jeep937 04-13-2009, 10:28 AM Someone wrote even fire on it.
