I put a flywheel of the early 6 cylinder on my 100- probably about half =
the weight of the original.

Motor was a little more than M-spec with flat top pistons.

Made it more lively boy no difference in tractability.

I must admit I never revved it hard, there being no need to.

A good mod in my opinion

I encourage as many people as possible to "M" up their 100's.
