Summit sells the aluminum wheels for like $20 but like you said still need a good & reliable way to put it on the crank. Pretty sure the one i've always used was from Moroso.

Built an LS a few months ago, shaved the head 0.01 and the block 0.05 and the piston came up out of the block .015" haha Stock cams and crank but used GS-R pistons. Clayed it and had plenty of valve clearance but the piston was making contact with the head...grind the head or the piston? Flipped the head over, layed down the gasket, and enlarged the combustion chambers slightly. The piston then slid up inside it perfectly Remember, this was a budget build with basically only time involved using spare parts.

Used a degree wheel before and after and now both the exhaust and intake is retarded 5° and can't run adjustable cam shafts, lol. Rotational torque with rear main seal on was 6.8lbs...Running 100 octane only and aiming for 12:1.
