    Yea, title says it all. Shop that took my car apart and skated didn't return flywheel, WP pulley, WP key. The flywheel is a killer.... I have already checked the classified sections and didnt find one, so I figured I'd throw it out in here, in the event you helpful folks have a line on one....Thanks if so!

    Very hard to find, you might have to get one made.

    You should also specify the version wanted (the markings are different for each version) and your location (for such a heavy part).

    We've got a couple laying around, 308-328 flavors. Might have a '78 actually; Carb'd version.
    Here's the catch... I'm out of town till the end of July so I can't dig thru old parts pile till I get back.

    I'd suggest aftermarket, however the clutch/flywheel assy we provide is currently not available due to material shortages.

    ahhhh. gotcha. my shop has a line on a "new" one for 3200, but that seems egregious for a flywheel.i appreciate that offer, @smg2 . I don't know if it is fair to hold them up for a month so i can save some coin on it. i've got a possible lead on my actual flywheel, but seeing as how the whole rebuild process was an utter disaster with him, im not banking on it.

    That is a crazy high price. NOS? That's rare! New as in resurfaced... That makes more sense, but not at that price point. The aftermarket version we have is around $3k but that includes, clutch, flywheel and T.O. (the entire stack).

    No issues. If you're still looking later this month I'll dig into the pile.

    Superformance in UK has them listed for $885 (forged) or $445 (cast - currently back ordered). Don't know about advance degree markings.

    It would be pretty easy to stamp the markings appropriate for your car/engine.

    Check out this thread: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/looking-for-used-308-qv-flywheel.633109

    Executive summary - In December 2020 I had www.aascomotorsports.com make a lightweight flywheel from an old worn out flywheel I bought from Big Tex - he shipped it from Texas to California, then Aasco shipped it to me in Calgary when it was rebuilt. Turnaround time 5 weeks, cost for the Aasco rebuild was $666 (on top of whatever the used flywheel would cost). They use the ring gear from the old flywheel, aluminum body, replaceable steel friction surface.

    Photos of the Aasco rebuilt light flywheel:

    I haven't installed it yet, my original flywheel and clutch are still going strong, but perhaps a project for next winter.

    That came out bad ass!

    And as constructoed now, that's a "lifetime part"...well done!
    I would alomst tell the OP to go that route, and let THEM find the flywheel..

    I'm sure FerrParts or TRutlands has one...a take off.
