Hello all!
I have a 1993 245 with a B230, presently an automatic (AW70). I'm in the process of swapping to a T5 from a '94 Mustang (I'm aware that the input shaft is longer, I machined my own adapter to compensate). I have a B230F, IPD Turbo cam, turbo setup from a 1990 740 (Mitsubishi 13c), and a Megasquirt 2. This setup is dialed in reasonably well. Target is 300-350 lb-ft at most.
I have everything lined up for the manual swap, except for the flywheel and clutch. Now, I'm aware that I have a few options here. I'm not particularly bent on requiring the use of a dog-dish flywheel and retaining the 60-2 crank sensor. I'm already running aftermarket EMS, so I have no problem switching to a front mount trigger wheel.
Are there any benefits to one flywheel over the other, other than mass? Is there a difference in pressure plate availability? Is one pressure plate stiffer than the other, or is it a wash on the torque holding front?
In short, if you had the option to pick flat or dog dish, what would you pick?
