machining 5k flywheel to 200 spec/shape?

The flywheel from the 200 is flat compared to the dished flywheel of the 5k.  The clutch disk is interchangeable, but the pressure plates are different to make up for the change in mounting location.  Instead of the 200 pressure plate being mostly flat like the 5k unit, it is dished to make up for the flatness of the flywheel.

Instead of locating buying a 200 flywheel, is it possible to have the 5k flywheel machined flat and have the pressure plate mounting dowels and threaded holes moved reinstalled in the new location?

I would like to take an example of each to a machine shop and see if they can do it, but I was wondering if there was any BTDT here on the list for such a thing.

The goal would be to reduce the flywheel weight for quicker acceleration and such.

I have one 200 flywheel and clutch kit for this purpose, but I'm building another MC'ed car and would like to convert a dished flywheel to the flat style if possible.  If it can be done for less than $100, it would be cheaper to do than to buy another 200 'wheel.

Thanks,

Ken
