clutch help needed!?!?

I think I can answer some of your questions. the reason they don't recommend an aluminum flywheel is because it doen't smooth out engine vibration well enough and isn't to comfortable to drive ecspecially with a 5spd. now I don't know about the 79-93 clutch kits mating up to it, i can't really think why they wouldn't and as for power, i'd say 300+ at the crank, but i'm not as good guessing carbed motors opposed to EFI HP #'s.

The 302 engines up until I think 82 used a 28 oz flywheel/flexplate, 83 or so they changed to a 50 oz style.

the flywheel you refer too will not work, and does not have the correct weight.

I'm not sure as to the teeth on the 86-93 10.5 inch flywheels, but I'm pretty sure they are 164 teeth

What you'll need is a flywheel with a 28 oz displacement to work with that 70 302, and I'm fairly certain 164 teeth to work with the t5 bell and starter. Ford never made such a beast, but the aftermarket did, check ebay and summit.

well, ****, I just re read your post. your older flywheel is I think 157 tooth. I'm pretty sure the t5 has a bigger bell designed for the 164 tooth bigger flywheels, so if you use the old school flywheel, then it may not work with the starter.

what does the older flywheel measure??? todays clutches are designed for a 10.5 inch flywheel.

Anyhow, I may have raised more questions than answers, but you have the correct ammo to search further now, GOod luck!

You got to be in the 200+hp or more as for the fly wheel I think it says not for street just because its made for higher rpm's what does that have to do with it nothing. They are not cheap I would say if you were a racer, yes but steel ones aftermarket would be
better save money for other things. True about clutch too. 86+ is bigger, better, you want to get a fly wheel that lets you run 86+
clutch. Get a aluminum driveshaft instead of """"" flywheel...you will appreciate that more. Unless you really mod your motor.
