Sounds like a plan. When I got my parts from Martin he didn't have a starter from what I remember...been two years now (where has the time gone)

Anyway, With my engine size and projected power output Jake didn't want to trust a cast 228 flywheel thats over twenty years old. I know lots of people use them, but we felt it would be the weak link in this setup. If you want a new forged billet 228...Kennedy can make one. For the past two years Jake and I have tried to find a factory forged 228, but never found one. The ones people said were forged that Jake bought were cast. And the companies we talked to that specialize in WBX motors said they never seen one either.
