1971 Ford Custom Flywheels and Flexplates

Vehicles with automatic transmissions have a flex plate. The flex plates connect the engine and transmission. Most flex plates are made of a thick piece of sheet metal with bolt holes for the torque converter and teeth for the starter. The job of a flex plate is to allow for expansion of the torque converter as engine RPM increases. The constant expansion and contraction of a flex plate over time can result cracks and/or shearing of the flex plate. A damaged flex plate can create serious and expensive damage. Broken flex plates cannot be repaired, they must be replaced. Pioneer Flex Plates are made of high-quality steel and contain the correct bolt hole spacing and ring gear teeth just like the original part to ensure long life and durability.

Product Features:

• Balanced to factory specs
• Fit and function like the original parts
• Restores normal operation

M/T FLYWHEEL

Hays heavy-duty flexplates for Ford 385-Series high performance and competition engines are constructed of a thicker than stock steel plate, enabling them to withstand the stress of high-stall torque converters and high-RPM engines. While factory stock plates tend to crack around the crankshaft hub when punished under high torque and RPM conditions, the thicker Hays flexplate handles the force. These flexplates are supplied with a ring gear that is securely welded in place. All Hays heavy-duty flexplates are zinc-dichromate plated to resist corrosion and are SFI certified under specification 29.1.

Product Features:

• Constructed of 0.035 inch thicker than stock steel plate to withstand the stress of high stall speed converters and high RPM engine
• Securely welded ring gear and zinc dichromate plated to resist rust and corrosion.
• Meets SFI specification 29.1 for racing
• Forged 1-piece steel ring gear

Hays Steel Flywheels are manufactured from certified billet material that will not break up under the stress of high RPM and severe punishment of racing. All Hays flywheels are certified S.F.I. spec 1.1. This flywheel fits the big block internal balanced 352, 390, 427, 428, 429, 460 CID Ford for 1965 through 1972. This is a 184 tooth flywheel that weighs 40 lbs. Requires an 11 in Borg-Beck, Long or Mark XII clutches. This flywheel is thicker than stock and may require a bellhousing spacing or a Lakewood bellhousing to eliminate interference. Flywheel bolts included. Other applications available.

Product Features:

• Fits BB Ford With Internal Balance
• 184 Tooth Flywheel
• Weighs 40 Lbs
• Requires 11 In B&B, long or Mark XII Clutches
• Thicker Than Stock

Vehicles with manual transmissions have a flywheel. The Flywheel is where the clutch assembly is mounted. It provides a smooth friction surface for the clutch disk. Flywheels also have teeth for the starter. Flywheels can crack, break, or break starter teeth. Once a damaged flywheel is diagnosed, a new replacement is the best route to go. Pioneer flywheels provide fit and function just like the original part to ensure durability and long life..
