Re: Flathead project
If using Ford parts, consider running a cut-down Ford flywheel and a 10" clutch . . . or even a performance oriented 9" clutch (as they do rev nice and fast). Since you're going to be running it in a light car, you can decide whether you'd like to run a steel flywheel in the low to mid 20 lbs weight range or even go to a lightweight aluminum flywheel (which are just plain fun in my opinion). If you're buying "new", there are quite a few options out there - comes down to brand and money spent.
I'd checkout RAM Clutches - they have specific flywheel and clutch combinations for T5 trans, top-loaders, etc.. You'll find they have flywheels for 39-48, 49-53, aluminum/steel, etc.. You might want to talk to their tech departments.
Let us know what you find.
