[QUOTE="timbo3282, post: 10891389, member: 30499"] You could get a stock replacement from Tousley Ford, but if you are replacing the flywheel you'd be a fool not to replace it with an aluminum flywheel. Like JimmySideCar said, you are not going to break an aluminum flywheel period. Eliminating rotating mass, when and where ever you can is just plain smart. The only smart choice is to get one of the billet aluminum flywheels that have steel friction inserts. With those, when you replace your clutch next time, you just buy a new steel insert and you don't have to take your old flywheel to the machine shop for resurfacing or buy an entire new flywheel. You just spend about $40 on the steel insert and you have a new flywheel all over again, every time. It is the best of the best option. Ram and many other companies make them. Here is a link for a Ram clutch at Latemodel Restoration: [url=http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/RAM-2545/96-04-Ford-Mustang-46L-Ram-Billet-Aluminum-Flywheel]1996-12 Mustang Ram Billet Aluminum Flywheel, 8 Bolt at LRS - Same Day Shipping![/url] [/QUOTE]
