On the back of the engine after I pull off the flywheel and plate behind it, there are 3 different numbers...I took pictures of each.





I also see at least 2 of these tags on the engine:





I'm pretty sure its a 32V engine (although admittedly no expert), it has the 32V valve covers...not sure if those could be swapped onto a regular GT engine.

I did some research over at Mach1Registry and the info I found there said Auto Mach's have the 6 bolt crank, whereas the 5spd's had the 8 bolt, supposedly to handle harder shifts from the manual tranny. A couple of guys have done swaps from Auto to 5spd there...it seems as though a regular 2004 GT flywheel will work. My local dealership was of no help, I got a reference from someone over at Mach1Reg to call Tousley Ford, hopefully they can assist and maybe overnight me a flywheel.

Really just want this ordeal to be over. I bought the clutch from AM, but I called and talked to them, and they were of no real assistance either. Their site lists the exact clutch I bought as compatible with Late 2001-2004 GT, Mach 1's, and 99-04 Cobras. They sell an Exedy Flywheel on AM for 6 bolt GT, just dont want to shell out $300 plus more likely for overnight...only as a last resort I guess.

New clutch does not line up with the old flywheel at all (I can line the dowels up, but the PP holes do not), but I think that has to do with it being a truck flywheel and I assume the clutch is also for an F-150/250 as well.

Thx for the response
