Looking for a Flywheel
I'm installing a new clutch and took my flywheel to the machine shop for evaluation. I already knew I need a new ring gear, but the machinist recommended getting a new flywheel if I could find one. He said this one has already been resurfaced at least once. i can find ring gears, but does anyone know where I can find the flywheel assembly for a 1960 223? It's an F-100 with a three speed column shifter. Thanks.

If it was properly resurfaced once, it can be resurfaced again. What is he basing this on, experience with modern cars' flywheels, or the measured thickness of the flywheel? Just like brake drums, there is a limit. Some modern cars can only be surfaced once. If you do go for another cut on it, you might want to consider a balance on it.
