Ford 289-351 Flywheel

The TCI 529632 Ford 289-351 Flywheel is a precision-engineered 164-tooth steel flywheel designed for classic and modified Ford engine swaps where reliable power transfer and durability are essential. Built for enthusiasts upgrading from stock components or installing higher-displacement engines in earlier platforms, this flywheel bridges the gap between vintage Ford small-block architecture and modern transmission demands.

Manufactured from heavy-duty steel and featuring 164 teeth, this flywheel is engineered to withstand repeated starter engagement and high torque cycles common in upgraded powerplants. The steel construction provides thermal stability and resists warping—critical when bolt-on modifications like forced induction or nitrous systems increase combustion pressures. At 12.4 pounds, the flywheel maintains a balanced rotating mass that supports both street driving and occasional track use without creating excessive inertia that compromises throttle response.

The 14.5-inch outer diameter ensures proper bell-housing clearance and starter motor alignment on Ford small-block applications, eliminating fitment guesswork during assembly. This flywheel is ideal for restorers, hot-rodders, and drag racers performing engine family swaps or upgrading aging drivetrains, ensuring consistent engagement and minimal drivetrain slippage under load.
