It seems like reducing the reciprocating mass (pistons & rods) would be more important than reducing rotating mass. Maybe? And as far as manipulating rotating mass, I would think the flywheel is probably the easiest and most flexible way to do that.
Longer intake runners? Roller tappets? Mirror-polish the inside of the intake manifold or have a tube header made up custom. Set up a venturi in the exhaust to reduce crankcase pressure, improving ring sealing which allows you to leave out the oil-scraper ring, thereby reducing the sliding friction of the pistons?
I'm not making this up.
Contract with a russian machine shop to make you a custom titanium crankshaft out of former Chernobyl cooling pipes. That way you don't have to preheat the motor in the morning. The radioactive decay will keep it at operating temperature all the time!
Ok, that's just silly. Everyone knows the contaminated cooling system parts aren't radioactive enough to generate that much heat.
