Not sure if that is 100% correct.

This is the same thing that my older GMPP catalog shows :
Thius is from the Pace Performance web site. Dont know why I cant seem to actually put a link to the page:(

The first number at the GMPP link is coming up as a smallblock flywheel in the PDF catalogs.
Snip out of 2018 (top) and 2023 (bottom) Chevrolet Performance catalog, flywheels offered then and now.

I wonder why the Pace Performance site does ? They are one of the biggest GMPP dealers. Ill do some more research tomorrow :) Unless GM superceded them to all being the same but that would be unusual for them to do without changing a part number.

in your opinion, is it going to cause a problem if I run the flywheel for the cast crank on my forged crank engine?

If I say its ok and it hurts your engine is it going to be my fault :) :) After all its always the machine shop's fault ;) Its kind of hard to feel a vibration in a boat compared to a car. I dont know of anyone who has run it like that long term so its very hard to say. Dont know if an oil analysis would tell you anything or not.
