Seeking advice on 833/440 flywheel

[Ben Treinen]

Hello everyone, I need some help with a flywheel and clutch combo I want to use. I attached some photos of a centerforce clutch and an unknown flywheel that came off a cast crank 440 w/ 4-speed. I blew up that motor and now have a 440 with an internal balance forged crank with LY rods that I'd like to reuse these parts on.
I am trying to figure out if I can use this flywheel and just remove the counterweight to achieve neutral balance or would you all reccomend taking this to a shop? The flywheel has no markings other than the letter A near the counterweight. I'm not trying to do anything crazy, just a budget build with a rebuilt 18 spline 4 speed and I plan on using the existing pilot bushing (out of round on the bellhhosing was .006 so using a Dakota bushing is not viable) thanks!

Remove the weight & also have the flywheel spin balanced

Agreed !!

Is it 130 or 143 tooth? Looks like a mcleod 464102 flywheel. They can work on various internal/external engines by adding different weights or leaving it off altogether. 464102 is a 130 tooth flywheel. Not sure if they have the same flywheel in 143 tooth that accepts weights but maybe.

It's designed to have the weight removed for a neutral balance application as you described. I like to have them balance checked but if your recip isnt balaced either you might as well wing it and hope for the best.

Take it to speed shop and check FW and then balance as assembly. Why risk it.

Thanks for the input, ill have the flywheel balanced, the rotating assembly is internally balance so I just need to confirm this is true neutral balance. This forum is always great to learn from everyone's experience.
