I have a flywheel the is marked C5AE-6380 H. Does anybody know what this is from?

 

C = decade/1960's
5 = year / 1965
A = model / Ford (generic)/Galaxie
E = department / engine
6380 = part identifier/6000 group
H = suffix / single letter indicates specific application

 

I want to know what motor it is for.

 

hello Brian 460. I have the same flywheel. I also need to know what it's for. Did you ever solve your problem?
I'm using a bell housing that's supposed to be from a 70 ranchero small block. cast # "c5aa-6394 b".
It fits the 67 289 and the 67 np 435 granny 4 speed trans. I'm going to use. The flywheel that came with the 289 looks like it's the 28 oz imbalance but it's too small for the starter to mesh. It's cast # is "c6ze-6380 a" with a stamped in # "c7ze b". The flywheel you and I have "c5ae- 6380 h" fits the crank the bell housing the starter looks like it meshes but I can't find out if it's balanced for the 67 289"
Can anyone help here? Please!

 

Hi. I forgot to mention the "c5ae-6380 H" flywheel has 168 teeth.

 

Well if that flywheel bolts up to a 289 and has a counterweight it will be balanced for 28 oz.in. unbalance which is correct for all small blocks before the early 80s. If it has no counterweight it was used with the inline six and so won't work.
The trouble with Ford casting numbers is that they are a bit different from part numbers so the number in a parts book won't be the same as the number on the part(!)

 

So this flywheel could be from in inline 6. That means the crank bolt pattern is the same for the inline 6 and the small block 289 v8. Do you know if the bell housing from the 6 would bolt to the 6bolt sbf 289?
Thank you.

 

That's not correct. A 289 and 1971/79 302 will have a flywheel with 157 teeth, the stamp numbers are: C6ZE-6380-A or B & C7ZE-6375-B

I'll see if I can find the C5AE number.

EDIT: 240 has 164 teeth, still looking for C5AE

EDIT: It's not 170/200/250 either

FE = 184 teeth

Are you sure about the 168 tooth count? I'm running out of engines!

 

number dummy. Thank you. I read one of your many posts on this subject and took your advice. I emailed Direct ford parts .com and I'm waiting for their reply.

 

Our high speed internet turned into a no speed internet, otherwise I would have typed this earlier. You have an EARLY 1965 240 flywheel. I could not find the C5AE-6380-H cross ref, so I typed the bolt pattern sizes for the two early flywheels. *


Here's what the parts catalog sez: C5AZ-6384-E >> replaced by >> C5AZ-6384-A .. Ring Gear = 164 TOOTH REPLACES 168 TOOTH RING GEAR.


If the bolt circle of your present flywheel is 12 3/8" the part number is: *C5TZ-6375-K >> replaced by >> C5TZ-6375-N. This flywheel was used with an 11" clutch.


If the bolt circle is 11 3/8" the part number is *C5AZ-6375-M >> replaced by >> C8TZ-6375-A. Used with 10" clutch.


The reason the ring gear and the two flywheel part numbers were updated to new numbers, was because of the change in the tooth count from 168 teeth to 164 teeth.


If I had looked at the ring gear part numbers instead of the flywheel part numbers, I could have told you this earlier.

 

Thank you, Number Dummy!!!!!
Now I have a flywheel that still won't work for my app. but at least now I know what it's for.

The Ford world is a better place, thanks to you.

Thanks again for looking that up. Dave.

 

Yes the small block V8 (1965-up) and big six (240, 300) share the same bellhousing pattern.
They also have the same crankshaft flange pattern so that each engine's flywheel will bolt on to the other. This of course means the wrongly balanced flywheel can be installed, unfortunately.
Keep in mind that the damper is also balanced to the crankshaft.

 

Thanks Beanscoot. That means I need to find out if the bell housing I got will be useable for the 289" eng. the 164 tooth 28oz. imbalance flywheel and if any starter will work with this bell housing cast# "c5aa-6394 B". on the v8.

 

C5AA-6394-B = C5AZ-6392-D .. 240 / 6 engine mounting holes.

C5AA-6394-B = C5AZ-6392-D .. 1965/68 289 / Use with 10" clutch

........"...................."..............1968/74 302............"...............

 

Thanks once more Number Dummy. I'm glad you came through because the Ford Parts Direct place can't look things up this way. They said they can only look up by application.
