    flywheel recomendations

     



    Along with the new clutch, here is the flywheels that are available for a 408 CI Ford Stroker. This will be on the street in a 2500 pound car with a 5 speed. Four bar rear with coil overs.

    Curious what the engine guru's thought would be the best choice. Part Comparison:


    33 lb. billet steel, sfi approved, 11" replaceable clutch surface

    30 lb. billet steel, sfi approved, 11" clutch surface

    18 lb. billet aluminum, sfi approved, 11" replacable clutch surface

    Thanks for the input

    Dave,

    At various times, I had both a heavy billet steel flywheel and a lightweight aluminum flywheel in my 400" GTO. With the torquey, not-too-high-revving engine, the heavier flywheel seemed to work better. It lasted longer than the aluminum one also.
