Isn't there an aluminum clutch cover (pressure plate) for the Cleveland also?
With the 2.20 first gear I would be doubtful that a big port 351 would be happy on the street with an aluminum flywheel. The car isn't that light. If it was 2,000 pounds with driver that would be a different story. You're going to have to slip the clutch a lot to get it moving.
A 427 is a different animal.
