Which Flywheel
Anyone ever hear of a 153 tooth steel flywheel for a 428? What is the correct or most widely used 'wheel with a 428? Thanks for any info, Hurley

Most common is the 184 tooth w/ 15.503" OD ring gear. 427's used zero balance, most 428's used 28oz counterbalanced.

Flywheel
Torque-e-modo,
Do you happen to know what a 153 tooth would have been used on? I had never heard of one. Thanks, Hurley |
flywheel
My flywheel is a McLeod unit with the correct 28oz unbalance for a 428. A lot of the original flywheels are getting pretty old and it is probably safer to go with a new one. David Kee sells these flywheels as well as the mating clutch pieces. I am running a McLeod dual friction setup which my builder claims is not as hard on flywheel surfaces as the centerforce setup. Pedal feel is reasonable with 3/4" master and McLeod hyd. throw-out brg.
If you are running a 427 you might want to ask David about flywheel weight as the faster revving 427 might respond well to a lighter flywheel. I can get you my part number if you need it. Gary |
hford: Success! I finally found a 153 tooth listing! The medium duty trucks used a 153 tooth, 13.735" OD flywheel for a few years. Used mostly on the 330/352 it seems. Not a good choice for a 427/428, as you would have to use the old 352 bellhousing, starter etc..My suggestion--a new scattershield with a new steel flywheel (McLeod/Lakewood sell both). Safety first!!:)
