the link expired. if it is the LT1 flywheel made by F1 I just installed one. I run a internal balance motor so wanted one I could remove the weight on. F1 said it would then be "zero" aka neutral balance. machine shop proved it was 6 grams off without weight. If you have a stock external balance motor this won't matter.

it is otherwise a nice forged FW

yeah that's the one I got. since your motor is "external" balance than keep the weight on it.

stock FW weighs 20.5 lbs. The F1 weighs 22.5 lbs

their claim of "light weight" refers to the LT4 "dual mass" FW which weighs 36-38 lbs and this only being 22.5 lbs.

Will this flywheel work ok with my spec 2+ clutch? Also, I am using aftermarket boltsthat have longer than stock threads...so how deep are the threads on the flywheel? I noticed that the f1 flywheel holes don't go all the way through...

I am using the OEM PP bolts and yes the holes do not go all the way through so a longer bolt would be a problem

FW will work fine with the 2+ or any other clutch for LT1

My $02 on the 2+ is don't slip or baby it or it will glaze (Kevlar).

I didn't measure how deep, they just don't go all the way through like OEM one

the hole is deeper than the just the threads on stock PP bolts. looked to be at least 1/2"

ask the vendor the ?. there is a link to contact seller on ebay
