so if the m5r2 can be bolted to a 5.0 and a t-5 transmission can be bolted to an SC engine... can an aluminum flywheel for a SBF or any car with a t-5 be used?

ThunderCoupe said:so then what is the right tooth count? The teeth mate with the starter right? so then how many do we need for the stock starter? what other starter could be used/ could a different be used with a different flywheel?

I'll add a correction to this as well. A 5.0 HO motor is 50oz counter balanced. However, not all 50oz are located in the flywheel. The weight is split between the balancer and the flywheel. I think there is something like 38oz in the balancer and 12oz in the flywheel. Also, all the T5 trannys used a 10.5" clutch, where the SC uses a 11-11.5". Just something to be aware about. I'm almost certain this info is correct.x182dan said:correction stock 5.0 are 50oz imbalance
XR7 Dave said:The flywheel sold by TMD is a Fidanza flywheel (at least the one I got was). It comes with no weights attached and you can add whatever you need (if any). Weights are included.
XR7 Dave said:Also, some 4.6's have an 8 bolt flywheel, the SC is a 6 bolt. A 4.6 nut could tell you which is which. So it's not that it won't work, its just that it can be complicated and so generally it's not worth the trouble.
