Flywheel Info

[svt2205]

I've not posted here in a long time but I'm looking for some information regarding the proper balanced weight for the stock 93 Cobra. I find some conflicting information. Is it 0 oz, 28 oz or 50 oz balance? I have found sites that say it's 28 and others saying 50. Really a pain in the ass but with the need to replace the rear main seal and very limited resources for local machine shops to resurface the old flywheel. I'm planning on installing a new one.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Found my info from the folks at Ford Performance.

"ALL 302's after 1981 are 50oz ...no exceptions." and "ALL 351W's 28oz No exceptions."

Yep, that would be correct.

I have a low mileage clutch and flywheel from a 13k mile car, original parts if interested in them.

I’m curious - being a 1994 Cobra owner, does anyone have any images of the front and back side of the 1993 Cobra flywheel to post up?

I know for a fact that the 1994/95 Cobra flywheels were specific only to the Cobra 5.0, and these flywheels were not the same as the original 50oz flywheel offered through Ford Motorsport nor were they the same as what was factory equipped on the same year Mustang GT.

I have images of my original 1994 Cobra flywheel, both front and back side and was curious to know if the 1993 Cobra flywheel was also specific to only that year Cobra too?

I can get photos of the one I have later this evening

Cool, thanks! I’m really curious if the 1993 Cobra flywheel was specific to only that year SVT Cobra or perhaps was it the same common flywheel as found in the 87-93 GT’s. Then I’m wondering, so what was the differences between the rotating assembly of the 93 Cobra vs the 94/95 Cobra?

Here’s the images of my 1994 Cobra flywheel and is original to the car as built.

Per the original 1994/95 SVT Cobra brochure, this flywheel was designed and matched to the 1994/95 Cobra rotating assembly.

It was not available through Ford Motorsport or eventually Ford Racing, which has now become Ford Performance. Many people think that the Ford Motorsport/Racing 50 oz Flywheel of the time was/is the same as the 1994/95 Cobra flywheel, it is not

This flywheel was only available through Ford directly or through a Ford Dealership Parts Dept. if needing a replacement. It has not been reproduced (yet), it is no longer available through Ford or Ford Parts and has been obsolete for years now.

Buddha beat me to posting a picture, I think they are the same from the 80's to 1993 era. The newer ones have a different part number, maybe the weight is a little different, or the amount of teeth on the flywheel.

It just happened to be convienent, organizing crap yesterday.

Decode it with this, but your flywheel was definitey a 94' released part.
