Default Flywheels

I'm looking to buy a flywheel for my v6 stang.

Are there any differences between the 5.0, 4.6, or 3.8 flywheels? I am looking for a 3.8 Aluminum flywheel but nobody sells them except SPEC and it is $380 which is insane. The 4.6 and 5.0 aluminum flywheels are readily available and are pretty cheap compared to the v6, do any versions of them fit the v6?

Thanks

Not sure, but the last thing you want is a cheap flywheel coming apart an takin your legs off... spend the extra $$$... an dont expect hudge gains by these flywheels in any case...

just spend the extra money on a good DURABLE one. if you go cheap, itll just burn out and you'll have to spend more money to replace it again.

Does anybody know these specs on a 1995 V6 3.8 Flywheel?

1.) number of teeth
2.) number of bolts
3.) width of flywheel in inches

Hoping to just find a flywheel that has same specs as v6 and slap it on. Nobody makes good v6 flywheels except SPEC and it is crazy expensive. I may have to just go to the junkyard and get a flywheel for cheap and resurface it.

I am not looking for big gains. I need to buy a flywheel for my auto->manual swap and rather get an aluminum now than later.
