When I built up a stroker 1776 I did basic balancing but added a heavier Gene Berg (IIRC) 8lb lower pulley. It was intended as a truck engine. I see the Hot VWs Mileage Motor went with a lightened flywheel. I believe the original John Karcey build went heavier:

He started with a 76mm crank and 77mm pistons = 1415cc, stock 1300cc heads with some "mild " port work flycut .120" to get 9.0:1 compression, dual solex/Kadrons with custom machined 25mm venturies and a 100 main jet, and a 009 dist. A 12 volt 180mm flywheel (heaviest flywheel VW made), and yes a modified 62 Jag front crank pulley that weighed 10 lbs. He used a WEB cam (no specs given)
