Flywheel questions...
In my experience a pressure plate is a pressure plate. I don't see why you would want a 10.5" disc with an 11" pressure plate though, I would just buy a matched clutch/pp kit and go.
To answer your question... Quite simply, lower weight and higher availability. Just need an 11" flywheel drilled for the 10.5" clutch pattern, multiple aftermarket already come this way... Although I am trying to avoid aftermarket in general, just so expensive for flywheel.
You could always cut a starter pocket out of a 727 or 904 bellhousing and weld it into the Liberty bellhousing. Then you could use a Liberty bell and 130T flywheel. ;)

lol, don't go starting trouble now DionR! Nah, seems like way too much work when you have a clean slate like me to work from. I could understand why that would seem preferable in your situation to maintain your stock and balanced rotating assembly.
2002 Dodge 4.7 Flywheel - doesn't look like a dual mass to me, but I don't know if the picture matches reality.
Well, you have redeemed yourself with this new information. It's got me thinking. Maybe, just maybe, if the 4.7L flywheel isn't dual mass and it has the 5.7 hemi bolt pattern then I could just use it in the 3.9L bellhousing. Presto! No aftermarket flywheel needed? More research...
Update:
Found
the post I was thinking of, it compares the 3.9L and 4.7L bellhousing, not 3.7L. However, he does discuss a little bit about the flywheels, really only figuring out that the NAPA part number for the actual ring gear is the same for either flywheel. Doesn't really confirm anything else I suppose. Need to verify bolt pattern and flywheel style(not dual mass knock on wood), already know the size and tooth count is correct for the 3.9L bell, 143 tooth/11" diameter.
Update2:
Well,
this post, albeit confusing and somewhat muddled does seem to confirm that the 5.7L flywheel will bolt up to the 4.7, vice versa then perhaps? Now to confirm material/style... Also have to verify that the 4.7L is internally balanced, otherwise this is all really pointless. Anybody have any ideas?
