nastyn8 · 02-28-2005, 03:08 AM

i was just wondering... i have a '79 engine and im sorta sure on what flywheel i need but not all the way. im thinking it needs a 157 tooth 28oz. balanced but im but 100% sure. anyway im wanting to have a T5 with a centerforce clutch setup. does anybody know if this will work with my year of engine? Thanks

Yes, a 157 tooth 28oz blance flywheel is what you need

does it have a 10.5" surface like the newer 50oz flywheels? what im basically wanting to know is can i use a centerforce clutch with it?

That would be awesome. I am still trying to figure out if i want to rush it and get the motor in there asap, and have some fun, or might wait until I can get the suspension and brakes sorted out. yeah, if you could do that, that would be cool.

you'd prolly save yourself some pain to get the suspension done before you put your engine in.
