[V8] Aluminum V8 Flywheel on E-Bay

[Tony and Lillie]

Did some checking with the very helpful staff at the local dealership 
recently. You need to be good friends with God to get the factory flywheel. 
They give me wholesale, and quoted me $404, but with some checking found 
they can't get them anymore.
