  • Is that flywheel even usable with all those heat cracks?

    One of the scariest rides I ever had was being shotgun in a car that blew a flywheel on the street at about 70 MPH. The flywheel took out the hydraulic brake lines, fuel lines, part of the frame, ballooned the dash, knocked down a small roadside fence, dug a small crater in the asphalt street and set the transmission down onto the parking brake mechanism. We were going slightly down hill at 70 MPH with the driver wanting to jump out. I am grabbing the steering wheel from the passenger side and scrubbing the tires into the curbs trying to slow us down. All this time I am trying to convince my friend to not jump out. We did this for around one mile before I was able to finally stop the car.

    What does this have to do with the current question? The flywheel in the car was one that I took out of my car because I felt that it had too many heat cracks and I was afraid to use it. I guess that I was correct in my original judgment but failed in my second judgment by riding with my wild, power shifting friend. ;)

    All that said, the cracks in the flywheel here are not nearly as bad as mine was and may be able to be surfaced out. Would I spend $699 to find out? Probably not.

  • Do your due diligence on this flywheel. I do not see the ground area on the counterweight where there should be a Brinnel test mark. Therefore I am in doubt as to this being a true Hipo flywheel. A better picture of the counterweight would be in order here.

    Do your due diligence on this flywheel. I do not see the ground area on the counterweight where there should be a Brinnel test mark. Therefore I am in doubt as to this being a true Hipo flywheel. The seller even states in their description that this flywheel came out of an A code Mustang. I posted this as more of a warning to our members here that this is NOT what the seller states in their initial title on Ebay.

    Note the huge drill marks in the counterweight where the engine this was attached to was apparently balanced differently than normal. Most likely this flywheel will need to be rebalanced to whatever engine it will be attached to next. Not that is affects the use of this flywheel but it is a later Ford replacement cast September 20, 1971.
