    Hello guys, Im on the hunt for a y block flywheel :D and I had some questions maybe I can gt answered. Is the y block flywheel unique? Can I use a truck flywheel in a car? Thanks.

    From what I understand they're all the same- and fit from early 54 y-blocks up to the newer 62's...
     
  3. I'm also pretty sure they are all the same. If in doubt y-blocksforever.com

    One for auto, one for stick. Pickup is the same as passenger, but F 6 may be heavier.

    They will all physically bolt up to the crank but are drilled for different size pressure plates. Easy enough to have one redrilled if need be, but something to be aware of so you gather all the correct pieces.

    I run the flywheel and 11 inch pressure plate from a F600
    and a 11 inch disc with a 4spd rug no problem
    the flywheel looks the same as a pass flywheel

    How about if I have a t-bird bellhousing? Would a truck flywheel n pressure plate work? Because I am aware that the truck bellhousing is a little bigger! What would be the cause of that?

    I have 54 flywheel on a 59ish 292 truck motor with T bird bell house connected to a later 50's od three speed w/a Tbird clutch.
    I think you"ll be fine.
     
  11. There you have it!! A combination of it all. Im sure your set up will be fine.

    Be carefull, the flywheel from a 64 f100 with the large spline input 3 speed will not fit in a pass bell.
