I need to know how much the stock 87-93 302 flywheel weighs. I just bought a 13.5 lb aluminum fidanza, and I want to know how much rotating weight it drops me.

thanks, [patriot]

Mike,

A stock flywheel weighs 20.5 pounds. You can thank my 9 yr old son for this info. Lol!

for every 1lb of rotating weight you take off the driveline, its the same as removing roughly 9lbs of dead weight out of the car. the car will be way more responsive and snappy. but it will not launch as hard.

i personally love aluminum flywheels.....

I installed the same fidanza flywheel in one of my old Mavericks that had a t-5,definitely made a noticable difference.Good flywheel for the price
