flywheel/pressure plate question
I have a 351w engine from the engine factory.It came with the flywheel. The treads seam to be metric as I realized that the standard ford pressure plate bolts did not fit. Where can I get the correct bolts? Also,should there be locating pins/dowels on the flywheel to locate the pressure plate? There seems to be three bored holes that line up with the smaller holes on the pressure plate flange. I want to do this right. Thanks for the help!

You need the locating dowels, you should be able to get those and the correct bolts (M-8 ?) from FORD.

Thanks Mr. Fixit! Appreciate the expert advice.

The clutch (actually, the pressure plate) should come with 6 correct bolts and 3 pins. You need them all.
If Ford makes excuses about not selling hardware, your clutch manufacturer (Hayes, Centerforce, Ram, etc.) should have them. |
Thanks Jack21 for the reply. I did get Ford part numbers. If anyone needs them,they are:
metric pressure plate bolts part number N602549-S51M (6 pcs) alignment dowel pins D1FZ-6397-B (3 pcs) I was surprised that local parts stores did not know that the clutch uses metric bolts and dowel pins. Anyway the engine and trans is in. Wheels came this week from Finish Line ,minus spinners. Got them mounted to 275/60 and 245/60 15's tires on friday. Frame is now sitting on it's on feet! Way cool!! |
