clutch confusion
Hey guys,
I have a 347 stroker and i am in the process of replacing the clutch. I ordered a motorsports 10.5 inch clutch. I was under the impression that is what size i was currently running. I was wrong. I have a 10 inch
because it was the original flywheel from my 66 289. so now the new clutch wont fit the bolt pattern for the flywheel I have. So i was thinking about purchasing a new billet flywheel.
I see they come in different weights. 24 lb, 25,lb up to 320 lb.....
what wight should i buy, or would i be better off just replacing the clutch with a 10 inch and not dicking with the 105. and the new flywheel.

I wasn't sure about flywheel weight. I ordered a 16 lb billtet flywheel with 280z balance weight with 157 tooth. But, Its for the 10.5 inch clutch rather than the 10 inch which was the spec for classics.

16lbs is a lightweight flywheel (aluminum) which is great if you're going for performance, but some people prefer steel for the street because typically it makes clutch engagement easier.
@imp it's important to correct that 164T flywheels came in 28oz imbalance as well. I believe for both 351's and for boss 302's 11" clutches and 164T flywheels were factory

Hey, BTW, are all those moth-balled DC-10s that were stored at Goodyear Airport when I lived in the area still there? There were a bunch! imp

Those were not moth balled. GY airport is a maintenance facility fo many airline. A lot of those planes are owned by Lufthansa and there for service. They fly in and out often. Some of them are still there but they cycle them a lot.
not sure how long it's been since you were in the area. It has change an *** load in the last several years.
I went ahead with a lighter flywheel since I have a 347 that is 399hp and 440ftlbs of torque. I figured the torque would offset any issues.
