Product Description

The McLeod 563408 Aluminum Flywheel is a performance-oriented upgrade designed for 1996-2017 Ford Mustang models equipped with 8-bolt crankshaft 3.7L, 4.6L, 5.0L, and 5.4L engines. Machined from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum, this flywheel significantly reduces rotational mass compared to heavier factory units - helping improve throttle response, acceleration, and overall drivetrain responsiveness under high-RPM and high-horsepower conditions.

Featuring a replaceable 1045 steel friction plate and a hardened 164-tooth ring gear, the 563408 provides durable engagement with your starter while supporting both 10.5" and 11" clutch setups via dual pressure plate bolt patterns. This makes it a versatile choice for aftermarket performance clutch systems. Ideal for spirited street driving, high-RPM performance tuning, and track use, this flywheel is a strong, lightweight component that enhances driving feedback and engine responsiveness in Mustang performance builds.
