So is mine. The carb is probably 20 years old. It spent most of its life on a bridged 12A, then stored carelessly for a while. If it still works, it's going on the street ported 13B.
I just picked up a GSL-SE flywheel today. The price was right so I had to grab it. I also grabbed a GSL-SE pan.

Right on,,, thats a sweet price. who ever u got it from didn't realize what they had, I believe those parts are worth quite abit more than ten dollars. Props on the find, so does this mean that your going to put the 13b in your glc.... that would kick serious ***... on an un related topic do you know what a glc weighs in at????

We spent like $20 and I got the pan and flywheel and a couple O2 sensors and stationary gears. The flywheel just needs to be resurfaced. It looks like it's already been resurfaced once though. I'll have to find a shop that can grind down the upper surface where the pressure plate bolts go in because the friction surface would otherwise be to far away, and then rebalance the flywheel's built in imbalance/counterwight lump if necessary. Felix Miata says it's necessary on stock flywheels, so I'd better find a shop that can do it correctly.
Yeah, if this flywheel can still be resurfaced, the 13B will go into the GLC.
The weight... Uh... I couldn't tell you. What I do know is jacking the rear of the car on the diff feels pretty light on the handle of my floor jack. The front feels heavier. I'd like to move the battery to the back. I think the car as a whole weighs similar to a 1st gen.

Ahh... memories.
I had a '78 GLC. One time we fit ten people and nine skateboards in it and drove ten miles. It took about 45 minutes and I had to rev, clutch, rev, clutch, rev, and clutch to get going from a stop. Then there was the time I slid it sideways and almost tipped it over. And the times I took it mudding. I wish I could have that car back now so I could shove a built 12A in it.

BeaterRX7, just find yourself another one. Or an early 626. I'd like to do one of those some day.

According to some quick Googling, a stock GLC weighs in at just under 1800 lbs. Very nice find, bigboi12A, should be awesome when it's done.
So you scrapped the 20B idea, eh Jeff? Too bad that didn't work out, but it'll be a beast either way.
