McLeod Flywheel Aluminum Chevrolet 2009+ LS-X/LT-X 8 Blt Crk 168T - 0Bal

If you're doing a retro-fit conversion on your Chevrolet LS-X, LT-X, LSA, LT1, or LT4 engine from 2009 and up, this aluminum flywheel from McLeod Racing is a solid choice. It's designed specifically for these applications, especially when you're working with an 8-bolt crankshaft and need a 168-tooth ring gear. This flywheel weighs in at a light 15 pounds, which is significantly less than a stock steel unit. That weight reduction is key for improving your vehicle's acceleration off the line and making it feel more responsive, whether you're cruising on the street or tackling off-road trails.

McLeod builds these flywheels from strong 6061-T6 billet aluminum, ensuring it can handle the demands of a performance drivetrain. The ring gear is made from hardened 1045 steel, which is crucial for reliable engagement with your starter motor. It's also SFI rated, meaning it meets safety standards for racing applications, giving you peace of mind. This particular model is balanced for 0-balance applications, which is important for smooth operation in retro-fit setups. Make sure this is the correct balance for your specific engine build.

When you're putting together a custom build or a retro-fit, getting the right components is critical. This McLeod aluminum flywheel is a well-built piece that offers a noticeable improvement in acceleration due to its light weight. It's designed to fit right into those specific Chevrolet V8 retro-fit applications, making your conversion project smoother.
