I think I've read somewhere that some people prefer a prepped TH350 for
racing applications
rather than a TH 400 due to the 400's power drainage.

finished

Do you know if the Hooters in Newark is still having their Thursday night

What is the differense between a flywheel a flexplate?
Is the flexplate part of the flywheel?
Confusius ;)

Flywheel - For a standard shift Transmission it's engaged by the pressure
plate/clutch assembly
Flexplate - for an automatic transmission, it bolts to the torque converter

Pelle,
The best way I know to explain it is a flexplate is used with an
automatic transmission and is usually lighter and thinner. Its basic
role is to give a place to use the starter on. Whereas the flywheel on
a manual transmission car is much heavier and actually stores kinetic
energy to
Ahh I see!
Thanks again to you all!

Hey Tom!
Unfortunately, due to lack of attendance, they
downgraded their show schedule to the last Thursday of
every month.
It was getting to the point where there would be
myself and 4 other cars.. They really screwed
themselves by killing off the show for the period of
time that they did..

Shawn,
Nice explanation. I just have one comment. It is actually
potential energy that is stored in the flywheel.

Actually Ron,
It is kinetic energy. An example of stored energy would bethe spring in a wind up clock. As the clock releases the stored energy from the spring by turningits hands, that would be an example of kinetic energy.

Technically,
It has kinetic and potential
energy. Kinetic is basically movement, and since the flywheel is spinning it
has kinetic energy. But the basic way to measure potential energy is height
off the ground where gravity can act on it. Since the flywheel is above ground
level it has
Wow, look what I caused usin' fancy words!
Physics was a long time ago, so I'll defer to the experts.

Shawn and RJ,
It's good to drive an engineering discussion! RJ you are exactly
correct. Everything has potential energy due to the simple fact of
gravity. Kinetic energy is developed from the rotating mass.

Flywheel is much thicker and the clutch is bolted on it. Used to manual
transmissions.
Automatic transmissions are using a turbine instead connected to the
flexplate. The starter uses the gear on the flexplate. The Swedish word
for flexplate is startkrans which pretty much explains the
One point I haven't seen brought up yet is the weight issue. Although a
flywheel weighs more than a flexplate a flexplate / torque converter
assembly weighs about the same as a flywheel / clutch assembly.
Anyone who has ever run an engine with a flexplate only with no torque
converter

Do you have a Factory Service Manual? Instruction is in there, not
hard to do but hard to explain without pictures (or being there).
You will need to remove steering wheel and directional switch. Then
there is a small square area (as I recall - but its been a long time)

I have a friend who used to road race little street legal 4 cylinder MGs.
They would put a light flywheel on their cars to make them accelerate out of
corners faster. The problem that he had was that it made the car hard to
drive on the street. Shifting smoothly under street conditions became
