The 99-2000 Mustang GT's were the only ones to get an 8 bolt crank other than the Cobra's. They still only used 10.5" clutches though. Here's a link to Mcleod's website to check out their flywheel application guide. Looks like you are looking for part number 463408. You have the same Flywheel as a 96-99 Cobra. The newer Cobra's were all 11" clutches. Hope it helps.

Edit: Sorry, the aluminum flywheel for yours would be 563408
I am sorry to say you are wrong my friend, my 2002 GT has a 8 bolt flywheel. And I hope this helps. 4.6L engines may have 6 or 8 bolts to attach to the crankshaft. Check the engine code before ordering. Romeo built engines have 6 bolts and Windsor built engines have 8 bolts. The 8th character in the VIN is (X) for Windsor engine plant or (W) for Romeo engine plant.
this part of the information is NOT correct. there is NOTHING in the VIN that tells you what engine plant an engine came from
your 2002 Gt came from the factory wth a 6 bolt crank and flywheel, now the ONLY way it could have had a 8 bolt set-up in it is IF someone changed the engine before you got it.
1999 & 2000 ARE THE ONLY years a GT mustang got a Windsor engine that has 8 bolts on the crank and flywheel.
now your part about the Cobra's having 8 bolt flywheel and crank IS correct

this is were I got my info from. I am going by what these guys are saying, and I hope they are right because I just ordered an 8 bolt 2 days ago.http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=M6375F46 1&comp=LRS
well guess what, your going to get the wrong flywheel if you ordered an 8 bolt as ther info is WRONG.
all they did was copy that info from the Frpp catalog and it is NOT correct
alright man I am going to take your word for it and call them and that they have the wrong info up and I ordered the wrong flywheel. thanks for telling me before I took the car apart.
ok, trust me as I've got over 25 years working at Ford dealerships in Baltimore, selling Ford parts and I was one of the first to modify and race the 4.6 in my 1996 Gt, so I do know a thing or 2 about Mustangs, Modulars and cars in general
I haven't been here long, but I've already seen plenty of guys saying "you are the man"
i believe your trans can tell you what you need. a t45 is 8 bolt and the 3650 is 6 bolt, correct??
OK, the Windsor motors have 13 valve cover bolts, these would be the 8 bolt cranks.
The Romeos have 11 valve cover bolts and they have 6 bolt cranks
**There's also a bolt hole in front of the head that is different, either a 6 or 10mm, I was just looking at a couple of these engines (I couldn't see the cranks however) I forget which was 6 or 10 though.
I understand that there was a fire at the Romeo plant in late 98 early 99 and Ford used the Windsors out of the truck plant for a couple of years.
Or is this all just BS?
