Flywheel help!
Help! I need the replace the flywheel on my '71 302. I found a flywheel in good shape today, but I can't tell what it fits. The Ford part number is C80E-6380B.
Can anyone tell me what flywheel this is, and what size clutch it takes? Thanks loads!

Bad crack, can't be resurfaced. Yes, I have determined that it's from a '68 Fairlane/Torino, but I can't determine which engine or clutch size. The number again is C80E-6380B...any ideas?

Flywheel help!
Well...heh, heh...I live in the mountains alone, and the truck is presently my only vehicle. I haven't dissassembled it yet so I can't compair (need it to get around). The idea was to find another flywheel and have it surfaced, so I could do the whole job in one weekend without having to run to the machine shop or anywhere else.
The price of the one I mentioned is so cheap ($15-already machined) that I thought I'd just grab it and be ready to go. But if it won't fit what's the point?
So can any of you parts number guru's figure out what engine a C8OE-6380B flywheel comes from? Thanks!

Polkat,
Just as I tried posting this early this morning the server went down again.
So,I'm back.
I'm curious to know where you got this (6380) part number from.
a Flywheel assembly is a 6375 number.
I found a C8OE-A which a 184 tooth flywheel for a 429 M/T.

Hi Dennis,
It's cast right on the flywheel (the whole number) on the engine side across from the balance bulge (which appears to be a 28 ounce bulge. Clutch bolt hole across to bolt hole appears right at 11" so I guess it's for a 10" clutch. Mystery flywheel! Might be for a marine application?
There may be some confusion here as I started this post stating that the original flywheel was cracked. That was actually in a truck out in a nearby field I was hoping to use as a donor, for the upcoming clutch job. That one was cracked bad and it's now gone.
It's true that I live alone in a rural area, so I wanted the mystery flywheel ready before I started the job (chattering clutch-standard replacement). But if it's a 10" flywheel I will probably drop the idea.
In fact, I've never had my truck's clutch apart (a '73 F-100 with a '71 302) but all the listings I've seen are for an 11" clutch (both years) so I'm guessing that's what I have. The bell housing and tranny are original '73 parts for this truck. Since the above mystery flywheel does appear to be for a 10" clutch, I probably will drop the idea. But is there any way to tell the clutch size before teardown? Thanks, Polkat
