Default Aluminum flywheel for BBC/T-56?

In disassembling my Camaro driveline for engine work, I discovered a massive steel flywheel that I would like to replace with an aluminum one. The current clutch package is Centerforce, including the flywheel. The p plate has a few heat marks, but is probably ok to reuse as a new plate & disc is about $700 from Summit. A new disc only is about $200. The flywheel also has some heat stress, but no surface cracks. I could probably have that lightly surfaces & re-use that too, BUT, I would really like to get that 40 (or so) pound rotating mass lightened up. Center force does not offer an aluminum wheel for the BBC/ T-56 combo.
Does anyone know of a mfr that does?

'The clutch is an 11" setup and I believe the engine is internally balanced.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
