My 351 is a little different , dart 195s , crower pro comp level 4 ,15359. only has 9.4:1 , rpm intake, 830 DP , full MSD , ARP Pro series rod bolts , Aluminium flywheel with steel insert I think it ended up at about 5.9 kg . Im sure your engine goes real good , When I first assembled my motor I used a 164 tooth 11kg steel flywheel (bad choice ) Then I tried a 157 at about 7.9 kg , these last two flywheels really make the engine come alive , my engine only dynoed at 335 rwhp or so with the 11kg . But now with the 5.9 kg it is a really fun car to thrash through the gears, loves to rev to 7000+and is not short on torque at 1000, what I am trying to say is, if 500 hp is what you need for acceleration ,but you don't really want to strip it down or spend a heap more money , A faster reving engine is much the same , mine will rev to 7000 in top gear (150) .Going to the next level will cost , get some use out of your motor
