Ross have you got prices and where to buy for these flywheels? I might get a lighter flywheel for mine

Ford V8 Cleveland/Windsor Yella Terra Flywheel, 10.60kg - yellaterra .... similar weight (10.6kg / 23 pound) to the other "light weight" flywheels I'm looking at. Cheers, Glen |
no idea on weight but will weigh mine in a few weeks when I pull the motor.

If you are putting a new clutch and flywheel in it's worth getting the flywheel and pressure plate balanced. I sourced clutch and flywheel from different sources. With the pressure plate located on the standard dowels it was way out of balance (according to the shop I got to balance them). The guy reckoned it wanted to fling itself off their machine.

All balanced parts before you go through that pain of putting them back in. They literally just cut small pieces out of my pressure plate until it balanced. I was amazed how out or round it was! |

Anybody have a factory-standard SBF flywheel laying around to weigh as well? Cheers, Glen |

For starters, the clutch and flywheel I settle on will be branded the same and from the same supplier; that seems a no-brainer. Balancing the two together should be easy and relatively cheap. Cheers, Glen |
It wasn't expensive to get them balanced and it was well worth it for the piece of mind.

My plan is to eventually have the engine neutrally balanced, but of course, as-is, it's a 50oz imbalance engine. Cheers, Glen |
I got my clutch from SPEC in the US SPEC Clutches & Flywheels: Auto Parts, Domestic, Import, Truck, Racing, Drifting :: Home They were the flavor of the month on all the LS forums at the time. They had a lot of options for custom and conversion setups. Might be worth talking to them.

What's an LS? Cheers, Glen |
LS = LS1 = Chebby motor :p
They have listings for early Mustang so I reckon they would have something for your combination. SPEC Clutches & Flywheels: Auto Parts, Domestic, Import, Truck, Racing, Drifting :: Results By Car Maybe drop them an email and ask. Cheers |

I put the light weight Yella Terra flywheel in the XY and is neutral balanced mated to the top loader. The 157 tooth flywheel I put in the Cobra came from Castlemain Rod Shop as a complete package with the clutch and bell housing and is mated to a T5. I don't know the weights of the factory flywheels as mine was a auto also. I agree with everyones comments to get it balanced and use ARP bolts bot flywheel and pressure plate. |

George Reid's excellent reference book High-Performance FORD Engine Parts Interchange has no mention of a difference in crankshaft end play between auto and manual transmission configurations. Same story in a couple of other SBF/Windsor books. Internet searches showed figures of 0.004" to 0.008", 0.004" to 0.009" and 0.004" to 0.010" but no mention of differences between manual vs. auto transmissions configs. No comments posted by engine builders, surprisingly. I'm happy to assume no difference. Cheers, Glen |

I found the part number for the Rod Shop flywheel if it's any use to now now. Part no:FW42 CRS1699 Ross |
