460 SCJ Bellhousing, Clutch & Flywheel?

[lastdime]

This is a basic question (I hope) for you seasoned 460 owners. I have a 460 SCJ for my FFR MK4 and need recommendations on the correct bellhousing, clutch, and flywheel.

Ford Racing says I should use the M-6375-Z460 flywheel but Ford Racing and Summit aren't selling them anymore. Does anyone know where they might be available or an alternative?

I imagine there are many good bellhousings that I can mate with a TKO 600, but I’m sure those of you on this forum have had both good and bad experiences with some.

I've heard not to worry about a racing clutch because the car doesn't weigh anything and the tires will burn out long before the clutch. I've been told to get a Mustang GT clutch and that will to the job and be more reliable. Any suggestions on a specific manual clutch system?

Your responses will help alleviate some of the heartburn I've been feeling lately about moving forward with these purchases.

Thanks

When I do these combinations, I use a McLeod flywheel, a Quicktime bellhousing, and a McLeod clutch kit.

You need to choose the clutch kit based on the horsepower level, and if I remember correctly, the Ford Racing 460 was rated for around 535-550 horsepower.

It's necessary to choose a clutch kit that will support that amount of horsepower. These cars are indeed light, but they can tax a clutch kit just like a heavier vehicle. A Mustang clutch that's rated for 300-350 hp just won't cut the mustard...

A McLeod billet steel flywheel, combined with a Quicktime bellhousing, a McLeod pressure plate, and a 500 series McLeod disc will get you where you need to be.

As with so many things in life there are plenty of choices. My combination, Lakewood bellhousing, from Mike Forte an aluminum flywheel,10.5"diaphram clutch in front of a TKO. With undercar exhaust was able to use clutch cable.
