v8 Flywheel

Isegrim · Jan 7, 2020

Hello everybody
I'm looking for an oem v8 flywheel for my MII!
did the flywheel actually have 28.2 oz?
Can someone help me there.

LILCBRA · Jan 7, 2020

It's my understanding that II flywheels are worth the vehicle's weight in gold since they're near impossible to find now. As far as the balance, I'm not sure if they're 28.2 or not, all I've ever heard of was 28. So I don't know if people were just dropping the .2 ounce or if they're actually a straight 28 ounce imbalance. @74stang2togo might be able to help with the imbalance issue? As for actually getting one, I think your best bet might be Ebay at this point unless someone knows something that I don't.

Napa still has the flexplate for a 302/C4 car.

The flywheel for the 302/manual car is a lot harder to find.

Phil might have one, but his parts are seldom cheap:

I'm sorry, I don't have a picture of one.

Automatic stuff but you get the idea

I thought this picture useful.
141 tooth M2 Flex plate by 1966 ~ 289 ~ 157 tooth flex plate. Both 6 bolt bell housing.
Notice how starter is tucked in on smaller block plate.

Look close for part numbers. Bell~BE-D5ZP-7976-AA, Block Plate~D5ZE-6A373-AB, Flex plate D5ZZ-6375-A (this one hard to read)
Also no '6 bolt hole' ring under Flex plate mounting bolts like on 65-66 mustangs with C4

Weird but I don't have a picture of the flywheel. I have plenty of video though from the clutch job last spring.

Mustang II flywheels [std trans] are a different brand of cat the flywheel teeth are not inline with the clutch face and they are smaller in diameter.

perce111 · Jan 12, 2020

Not sure its been a number of years but I thought for some reason that they had a smaller number of teeth

Correct. They have 148.

Hey Isegrim
Post some fresh pics of that purple beauty.

A Flywheel option is available with the Mustang 2 scatter shield from Quick time and a 157 tooth fly wheel giving you more options of using the various10.5 clutch plates out there.
Kind of expensive but better than non existent.

Hello people ... thanks for the comments and help.
@ LILCBRA...I saw your video and I noticed that I have the flywheel ,but a few teeth are damaged

@2Blue2 ...thanks for the pictures but i am installing a t5 Trans.

the flywheel at rockauto is not the right size.
restoring the MII is really a challenge!
Pictures are coming

@74stang2togo....@perce111 yes that's right there are 148 teeth and 9.5 inches in size.

I had the same problem. There is a firm that takes the Napa flywheel and replaces the weight to produce the correct weight flywheel for the II. I had mine made by the last winter. I’ll find the information tomorrow and post it.

Art Carr’s California Performance Transmission is where I ordered my custom 141 tooth 50 oz flywheel. A little pricey at $149.00 shipped, but it was the only place I could find one. Here is their website. You won’t find it on the site, it’s a custom part. You have to call them to order. http://cpttransmission.com/orderform.php

I thought they only did automatic trans flex plates not manual trans flywheels!?!

I have an OEM bellhousing(I think with fork in it) and OEM flywheel for a 302. I have to dig it out and look, but I think the flywheel is near perfect.

If memory is correct(I got them in 1992, so I'm not positive) the bell and flywheel are from a 78 King.
