LE5/LSJ build ?'s
So I have been talking to a few individuals about the "gen 2.5" 2.4L bottom end mated up with the LSJ head. I know this build is supposed to be a pretty decent one and semi-low budget with decent power increase.
Now before I get into what I've got planned, I had a couple concerns about the flywheel.. I have heard there are a few people lurking on here that have actually had their LSJ flywheel re-machined to match the 6-bolt crank on the 2.4l, if this is in fact true, i would like to get some insight from those individuals...
The plan is to run a p/p LSJ head, stock valve train, ZZP LTH w/ 3" cutout, mated to stock exhaust (i want to keep it quiet for daily driving) stock 2.4l bottom end, arp studs and keep the m62, for now. I do not know what i am going to do as far as the clutch/ flywheel goes. I would like to keep my current setup if possible since i just installed the ky stage2 and new flywheel ~12k miles ago.
If anyone sees any major concerns or has any input and could give me pointers or links to others' similar builds, then I am all ears.

Tjolley is your guy to talk to about the flywheel and the reluctor wheel. LSJ head is a good idea, if your in need of porting message LSJION, he will give you a better deal than anyone else including vendors. His work is top notch. Re thinik the cut out. It is gonna be loud as ****. I highly advise putting in at least zzp valve springs while the engine is out, I recommend cams too but you can always do those later. Look up the stroker build in the lsj performance section that is Tjolleys thread
Edit: I also recommend at least new pistons if not rods

you can get the lsj wheel welded and redrilled it has been done oe you can get the part number to the fidanza wheel and order it you will either need to get the relucter redrilled or use an lsj relucter on the 2.4 crank you will also need a spacer roughly .030 to move the crank sensor out also
