What is the benefit of a lightened flywheel like this one?

A lightened flywheel, like this 20 lb McLeod unit, allows your engine to rev up and down more quickly. This translates to improved throttle response and faster acceleration from a stop compared to a heavier stock flywheel.

Is this flywheel suitable for racing applications?

Yes, this flywheel is SFI rated, which is often a requirement for many racing organizations. While heavier steel flywheels are sometimes preferred for launching heavy cars with less torque, this lightened version is excellent for street performance and many forms of racing.

What specific engine and crank configurations does this flywheel fit?

This McLeod flywheel is designed for Ford Mustangs with 4.6L, 5.4L, 3.7L, and 5.0L engines. It requires an 8-bolt crankshaft and a 164-tooth ring gear for proper fitment.

Product Details

This McLeod steel flywheel is CNC machined from billet alloy steel, giving it a solid foundation for your Mustang's drivetrain. It features a 1045 hardened steel ring gear, which is crucial for consistent engagement with your clutch and starter motor. At 20 lbs, this flywheel is lightened compared to stock, which helps your engine rev more freely, making stoplight acceleration feel more responsive.

McLeod designed these flywheels for street applications where a quicker response off the line is desired. While heavier steel flywheels can be beneficial for race cars needing to launch a heavy vehicle with less power, this lightened version is a great choice for everyday driving and spirited runs. It's also SFI rated, meaning it meets safety standards for many racing organizations.

This flywheel is a direct fit for a wide range of Mustang models equipped with the 4.6L, 5.4L, 3.7L, or 5.0L engines. Ensure you have the correct 8-bolt crank and 164-tooth ring gear configuration for proper installation.
