Olaf,
We use McLeod on all of our engine builds and I highly recommend them. One advantage is that the McLeod 428 flywheel is now made so that you can easily convert to the std FE neutral balance if you so desire. We have used both the steel and aluminum flywheels on our customers cars and they both work well-choice depends on budget and customer preference. McLeod is in the process of making an FE scattershield that will take the 5-speed transmissions. We are a dealer for McLeod, and I haven't seen a release on them yet, but that doesn't mean they aren't close to being ready. David Kee may have spoken to Red at McLeod recently, and maybe he'll pop in here with some info. Otherwise, I'll give Red a call and check up on progress and let you know.

BTW-All FE dampers are neutral balance-so you can use any one you want-though I would recommend using a good quality, heavy duty damper.
