Fidanza 186881 Aluminum Flywheel for Ford 49-53 Flathead Engines

Description

Upgrade your Ford flathead engine with the Fidanza 186881 aluminum flywheel, designed for 1949-1953 models including the Ford Country Sedan, Country Squire, and Crestline. Constructed from high-quality billet 6061 T6 or 2024 T4 aluminum, this flywheel offers a significant reduction in weight, making it 40-60% lighter than stock components. This reduction in rotational mass results in quicker throttle response and improved acceleration, enhancing overall engine performance. The aluminum body is heat-treated and features a replaceable hardened 1050 steel ring gear, ensuring durability and long-term reliability. Featuring a bolt-on replaceable friction plate with heat-treated friction material, it provides optimal grip and extended lifespan, even under demanding conditions. The design incorporates stepped dowels on most applications for precise alignment and secure fitment, while the lower moment of inertia (MOI) allows for faster engine revving and smoother operation. Built with military-grade fasteners, this flywheel is engineered for strength and reliability, making it suitable for serious performance upgrades and daily driving alike. Compatibility with a range of classic Ford flathead engines makes it a versatile choice for restorations or performance enhancements, ensuring a straightforward installation process that restores or boosts your vehicle’s powertrain efficiency. Overall, the Fidanza aluminum flywheel is an excellent upgrade for enthusiasts looking to improve throttle response, acceleration, and engine longevity in their vintage Ford vehicles.
