Yeah, over the last two years I have been learning to port saws. I've done a few, my 357, 372, and 394 turned out very well. Just finished a 288 cylinder for a friend in Montana. It's alot of fun.

Integrated flywheel key design is purely to save money. It's all finished after it pushes out of the mold after casting without the need for additional machining
The old style required an additional specialized machine, another setup operation, and another machine operator to "broach" that keyway in the ID of the flywheel for the key. That plus the cost of key stock. Doesnt seem like much but in the long run it's a pretty substantial savings so I'll bet before long, everyone else is doing it too.
The downside to the new design is that the built in key won't last anywhere near as long as the old style but the way most corporations see it, it only has to last as long as the rest of the machine's service life (which is crap nowadays) and in that case they are fully stocked to sell you another disposable unit pronto.
