Glen,
Counter to the valued input of our fellow Cobra owners in favor of a lightened flywheel, I am with you.
The Tom Lucas (FE Specialties) built 302 in my FIA has a standard weight flywheel. The car is quite responsive, easy to drive and has smooth take offs from a dead stop. Granted, the motor does not have the quick rev, rise and fall of a race motor when you blip the throttle, it's a street car, not a race car and I am OK with that.
It all depends on what you intend to do with the car and what your expectations are. You may change your mind once you have driven your Cobra for a while and if so, the flywheel and associated bits can be changed.
Time will tell and the great news is, you are getting very close to finding out, hopefully very soon. When that happens, we will all be cheering for your Glen, this has been a very long journey and the next chapter is just around the corner.
- Tim
