McLeod Steel Flywheel Chevy 28 1955-85 1955-85 SB & All BB 168 Gear 11inLong Pattern

If you're looking to get your classic Chevy street machine or off-road rig moving smoothly from a stop, a well-built steel flywheel is a solid choice. This McLeod Racing flywheel is CNC machined from billet alloy steel, giving it the strength and durability needed for demanding applications. It features a 1045 hardened steel ring gear, which is crucial for consistent engagement with your starter motor over thousands of cycles.

This particular flywheel is designed for Chevrolet small-block and big-block engines from 1955 through 1985, featuring the 168-tooth ring gear and a 30 lb weight. This weight is often preferred for street applications as it helps maintain momentum, making it easier to accelerate from a standstill without stalling. It also includes a 3/8 inch Ford long pattern, which is important to note for clutch alignment. For all externally balanced engines, you'll need to add the McLeod CW kit 560222 to ensure proper operation.

McLeod flywheels are SFI rated, meaning they meet safety standards for racing applications, though this one is particularly well-suited for street use, rock crawling, and off-road driving where a near-factory weight is desired. It's a robust component that will handle the demands of regular driving and spirited acceleration.
