6 cylinder flywheel

[modified17]

I'm almost posative I have one. I'll check tomorrow.

I have located a flywheel that is turnable with a good ring gear at the Mustang Ranch. They also verified that these are hard to find and you can not get them new and it is in fact a 9 inch clutch. I appreciate all your inputs.

9" for real? Can you post more information about this? I've looked for something bigger than my 8.5" and I have a hard time keeping everything hooked up with it. Every little bit would help.

Roger,
The 3.03 equipped cars had a 9" clutch and a larger bell housing..
So look for 67 and later 3.03 equipped cars..
I know that the early Mavericks came with them..

Ah... that probably wouldn't fit in my puny bell housing then. Vintracer, what is the overall diameter of the ring gear on that -- and are you using a later vintage engine? Shoot, but that wouldn't work... the ring gear diameter determines its placement in relation to the starter and the bell housing and the starter are what they are. Someday got to upgrade, I guess.

Roger,

Yup the 2.77 tranny bell wont work.. and you must have a dual drilled engine block to be able to use the larger bell.
Then the starter changes from a 3 bolt to a 2 bolt starter..

I thought your wagon was an automatic..?

No... I bought two Dagenham trannys and made one good one from two, but had to re-engineer some of it since there were no good input or output shafts in either -- so with tool-shop at my disposal I made parts. So I guess I have a 4-speed Rogerham tranny. So far, so good.
