Product Description

The McLeod Racing 453100 is a nodular iron replacement flywheel engineered for 1986-1995 Ford Mustang 5.0L HO V8 applications running a manual transmission. Built from nodular iron - a stronger, more ductile material than the OEM cast iron - this flywheel resists cracking and fracture under hard use, making it a safer and more durable alternative to resurfacing a worn stock unit. It installs as a direct bolt-in with no modifications needed, preserving the factory 157-tooth ring gear engagement and 50 oz external balance specification.

Whether you're rebuilding a Fox Body daily driver or refreshing the drivetrain on an SN95 Cobra, the 453100 is a reliable, cost-effective upgrade that pairs correctly with standard 10" and 10.5" clutch setups. It is compatible with both diaphragm and long-style pressure plates, giving builders flexibility when pairing with aftermarket clutch kits.
