flywheel

Getting some stuff together for my T5 swap...will this flywheel work with a late model clutch? If not, then will an early clutch work with this flywheel? Thanks in advance...

Hey Ryan,
That looks like the correct flywheel for your engine. When you say late model clutch, what are you asking specifically? Also, it will be most helpful for the flywheel to have the dowels loose, so, you have the option for a 10 or 10.5" clutch assy. Some mfgs will drill for both.
Good Luck! .

No. There is such a wheel, but that's not it.

If not, then will an early clutch work with this flywheel?
Yes. You will need a 65-67 bell for the 157T wheel, or a Fox-body T5 bell for 157T.

I have a Zoom Clutch that came with my t5 and i was going to use it, but its probably best to go ahead and replace it. Im not going to have a big HP engine, maybe 300 when i rebuild it. the flywheel i posted is cheaper than the one that I would have to get to make the used Zoom clutch that I have work...I guess what I need to do is get this flywheel and a replacement clutch assembly for a 68 then?

Use the one specified for the 289HP/BOSS302.

On my 289, with a 28 oz imbalance, I used this flywheel that allows you to mount a 10.5 inch modern diaphragm clutch. 100 doillars.

Also put together a hydraulic clutch for 230 dollars.

That's OK for his engine, but from the description I doubt it will mount his 5.0 clutch.

I think the Zoom is a 10.5 inch clutch. Could be wrong though.
I am running a 10.5 inch King Cobra diaphragm clutch that was made for a 5.0 engine on the flywheel.

The 289HP/BOSS302 clutch I recommended is also 10.5".

im gonna go with the 10 in centerforce..a 10 in should be suffice for my engine...b using this i should be able to stay under $200 and get a new flywheel and clutch...
