5.9 Magnum flywheel - DIY with bolt-on weight??

This option still seems a possibility to me. Others have apparently done this on other applications.

No weight to get in the way.

I noticed too the mopar performance flywheel is cast so there's no real advantage other than the right balance.

I'm not confident enough to just buy the book and do it (not good if you get it wrong) but I am curious to hear opinions from anyone who's done this kind of thing.

As far as I know, the LA 318s are neutral.
There is one advantage to the McLeod flywheel. You can use the flywheel with different engines by changing the weight (or removing it for neutral engines).
