Is it true that if you put a King Cobra Ford Racing clutch in your stang you also have to replace you factory flywheel with the ford racing flywheel? I was told by some people that the King Cobra clutch wont bolt up to the stock flywheel, is that true??

 

Everthing I've read,,states its a 10.5 inch clutch like what we have stock..its a stock replacement.should bolt up just fine....anyone else know for sure?

heres what I read:
1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 FORD MUSTANG4.6 DOHC and SOHC, & FORD MUSTANG 5.0with 10.5" clutches
This item fits all 1986-2001 Mustangs 5.0,4.6L & COBRA
Will also fit 75-85 Mustangs if you change to a 10 1/2 inch flywheel
FITS ALL T-5/T-45 TRANSMISSIONS WITH A 10 1/2 INCH CLUTCH
WILL NOT FIT 11 INCH SETUP


79-85 vehicles with a 10 inchclutch require a new flywheel when Installing a 10.5 inch clutch kit

 

That is exactly what I thought also. I thought is was a direct bolt on replacement, but like I said some people were telling me that I needed to get the ford racing flywheel, but I didnt think that was true!!!

 

Just get it re-surfaced!

 

When I put in my 99 motor in my 96 I couldn't use the clutch from the 96 and had to buy a new smaller clutch. The 96 flywheel actually was about 10 lbs heavier so I didn't mind so much. Maybe this is because of the year change or maybe it's cause of the Romeo NPI and Windsor PI difference, I don't know. But, they are different.
