As long as he uses the words ductile iron in his search he will..Here is the cheapest one I found doing a few quick searches:

You might find one cheaper if you spend some time.
Hey, OP.. just an fyi, I'm not sure I understand your plan completely, but it sounds like you plan on using a stock 5.0 flywheel on your 351.. that won't work. You need a 28 oz imbalance 157 tooth wheel for the 351. The 302 uses a 50 oz imbalance wheel. Most of the factory 351 flywheels were 164 tooth; a little larger in diameter and won't work on a fox.

Ok,....That flywheel won't work with a Mustang transmission, Mike. It's a truck flywheel, they are all 164 tooth- wrong size. The fox T5/TKO uses a 157 tooth flywheel, as I mentioned.
I know I cannot use the 5.0 flywheel, my question was if I could use the stock 5.8 truck flywheel but the engine didn't come with that.
I can keep looking,...... but it ain't my car. It's out there though. If I could find one to fit the termi engine in the Cobra,..there's certainly one to fit a 351 w/ a 157t flywheel and a 10.5" clutch.I looked at that one too. It uses a 10" clutch, the fox uses a 10.5" clutch. It might work with an early model clutch, but I wouldn't go that route.

Whachutalkinaboutwillis? The price of your billet wheel was 240.00 the price of the wheel I linked was 140.00....100 bucks IS 100 bucks.It might be.. but for ~$50 why not just get the billet steel unit?
I get that 50 bucks is 50 bucks, but you can't use a real performance clutch on an iron flywheel. It will destroy itself. Ask me how I know.
And I did put a stage 2 SPEC clutch on that nodular Iron wheel when I had the Cobra.There ya go. Just don't make 480 lbft with a stage 2 spec clutch with it...

So you are saying using a billet flywheel in the long run would be better then just slapping in a standard one? I don't think I will need a high torque clutch for now. I appreciate all of you giving me help with this.
All I know is that you and I both laid under cars back in the day replacing clutches that were living under pressure plates bolted to a cast iron flywheel. Short of certain aggressive composites like Kevlar,..I'm sure that there are still upgraded clutch materials that are more than capable of co-existing w/a cast iron flywheel that won't prematurely fail....It's worth the money.. trust me when I tell you that you'll eventually need a real clutch.
@madmike1157 The second link I posted was for $159.xx and I didn't use a six puck clutch. That's a stage 3. The stage 2 is a kevlar disc. Still tears the hell out of cast iron. Badly.
If 400-450 is the goal , that would be easily achevable with just a turbo kit and the supporting fuel , ignition , and tune .
