ok i know that you can change some stuff around to get a 10.5 clutch in my car instead of having the little 10 inch that came with it...i got an 84 gt. anyway what do i need to do this?

I pretty sure the only thing you have to swap is the flywheel. Everything else is the same.

cool sounds good to me i was planning on getting a new fly wheel anyway so that works out fine

this is what maximum motorsports says to do for the converson
We recommend against reinstalling the original size (10") clutch in these cars. The 1979 to 1985 V-8 Mustangs were equipped with 10" clutches from the factory. We recommend replacing the stock system with the upgraded McLeod 10.5" clutch/pressure plate system. Upgrading to the 10.5" clutch will require McLeod Flywheel part # 463100 or 563100, with the proper counterbalance, in place of the factory flywheel.
what would the proper counterbalance be?

Obsol3te

Our engines arent internally balanced.
Just get a flywheel for your model year and it should already be attached to the backing of it.

Just call ahead when you place the order to make sure.

there maybe a counterbalance on the flywheel to off set the diff. weight from the 10.5in clutch

ill ask my boss about it when i get off the lunch break he should know

Its a 50 oz. counter balance. All late model 5.0's are that way. The earlier 302's are 28oz imbalance.

is there a big difference in the conversion? When I got mine my car it already came with 10.5 so im not sure how 10 feels

ZachW04Stang

I don't think there is to many clutches you can get in 10 inch.
