Default Re: Please Help with Flywheel Decision

Thanks for your help guys!
I think I made my question more complicated than it is, so allow me to try again.

I'm planning to install the touring motor with a 39 Ford tranny in my 29 roadster. My question or decision I'm struggling with is which flywheel to use? I have 3 options available in my shop at the moment;

1. Use the stock Model A flywheel (65lb) with Model A pressure plate
2. Use the stock Model B flywheel (53lb) with Model A pressure plate
3. Use the lightened Model A flywheel (44lb) with 9" V8 pressure plate

These parts are balanced separately, but not together yet.

I don't know what's the best flywheel option? I live in an area with lots of hills, so is the lightened flywheel (44lb) a disadvantage? Would the B flywheel (53lb) gain any acceleration over the stock A flywheel, without losing too much stored energy for hills?

Thanks Again!!!
