At rockauto if you look close the usually give the Ford part # in their catalog which comes in handy.
At the price new flywheels are these days I didn't even list the ones I saw because of ridiculous prices. Find a used one and replace the ring gear if needed and send it out to be resurfaced and balanced and you'll br dollars ahead. I'm confident you can find one over on the swapmeet thread on our forum or on craigslist in your area.

Pressure plate...
Clutch kit ...
Flywheel ring gear ..
Pilot bushing ..

I remember thinking it was a little high, but it was all that was available. When it arrived, I took one look and knew it was worth the money. I've had it four years and have seen it twice in that time. It still looks new. Billet flywheels are the shizzle! Got one for my 460 too.

Record for sure. I've never even heard of a Ford 4.9L / 300 I6 going bad, much less ejecting rods.

10k rpm with super synthetic clear fluid. It runs so clear and clean, oil filter interval is recommended for every 10 years or when motor blows whichever comes first
