i took the isuzu flywheel down to a local engine builder/balancer/power builder. its balanced to itself so the engine does not use it for counterbalance. he also took 8LBS off it while it was there, the chevy flywheel is down to 13LBS, so i am confident it will run and drive like normal, he is confident i will suffer no ill will running the dual flywheel set-up, even in its heavier state. for comparison the chevy flywheel was 30.8 LBS and the isuzu was 38.3LBS.
i also built the bracket for the cruiser transfer case shifter the other day along with some other misc things that needed to be done. i built the new throtte and shut off cables and got them in the pig. made the york bracket so i dont have to give up OBA.
got the alt. pigtail done. i orded a whole set of bomb proof mounts from RUFFSTUFF and will use those instead of the stock plush isuzu mounts, i fired it the other day on the floor and rested my glass of tea on the valve cover,, vibes should be just fine with more solid motor mounts. i have almost got the dual air filter box made, will use paper prefilter and oiled foam main, with a short snorkel out the corner of the hood hummer style. so i am ready to drop it in its new home tomorow morning.
