It might be a new year, but this month’s product from Fidanza is decidedly ‘Old School’.
The Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel for 1949-1953 Ford 6cyl/8cyl Flathead 8BA Blocks will delight hot rodders and rebuilders alike with improved performance and acceleration. Replacing the heavy standard flywheel dramatically improves the power-to-weight ratio.
The Fidanza aluminium flywheel is made from high-quality machined 6061 T6 aluminium with a 1050 steel friction surface. Fastener holes and chamfers have been CNC machined for accuracy and military grade fasteners are included.
The steel friction surface of the flywheel (shown in the image with its green protective coating) is heat treated for optimum grip and a long service life. It is also replaceable; when the surface eventually becomes worn it can be changed without having to replace the whole flywheel.
Every Fidanza flywheel application is a unique design. Each design takes into account: overall balance, critical clearances, tensile strength, heat dissipation and optimum weight saving thereby striking a careful balance between reducing the original weight and maintaining a smooth idle for day-to-day street driving.
The Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel for 1949-1953 Ford 6cyl/8cyl Flathead 8BA Blocks can be ordered directly from Fidanza.com as part number 186881 at $444.23 plus shipping and import tax.
