In 1972, due to tightening emissions regulations, the Boss 351 edition and optional 429 big block engines were dropped from the Mustang range, leaving the 351 cu. in. as the largest available engine for the 1972 and 1973 year models. However, a Fidanza lightweight aluminium flywheel will go some way to adding more performance to the last of the original ‘pony cars’, the 1972-73 Ford Mustang.
A Fidanza lightweight flywheel is simple to install when the clutch is replaced and will bring the following benefits:
• Faster throttle response and quicker acceleration
• Additional horsepower to the wheels (reduced parasitic losses)
• Smoother, faster shifting
• Easier braking, better slowing (due to reduced rotational mass)
• Reduced clutch wear and improved efficiency (from better heat dissipation)
• Cost savings and longevity (thanks to Fidanza’s replaceable green friction plate – no need
to replace entire flywheel when worn)
• Potential for increased fuel economy (if you can keep your foot off the gas!)
• Quality and reliability (made in the USA from top grade materials)
A Fidanza lightweight flywheel for the 1972-73 Ford Mustang (Base model and Grande) can be ordered as part number BJCJ-186511 and retails at USD$483.04 plus shipping and tax.
