My F100's New Lightweight Flywheel Sounds INSANE! Mcleod Aluminum Flywheel and Clutch Install! 

It's great to see someone trying to do something and learning as they go. Don't give up. Don't let the haters get to you. Follow your dreams. Not the money and fame. Stay true to yourself and you will go far in life.

I would highly recommend using a paint marker on all critical fasteners. Makes it super easy to check if anything has come loose.

Your making memories that will last you a lifetime, well done

Man it sounds great with open headers! 🤘

U should b an inspiration 2 all want 2 b mechanics or Body men or women! That's the best kind of training I always thought was hands on that's how I learned by watching others & helping! Keep it up

Because of you I started welding on my 1971 c10! Thank you for inspiring me and lots of others!

I would love to see the truck with some nascar boom tubes!

You learn by mistakes, but Craig, loose bolts!?!? Aaaaaaggghh! Love the truck, McLeod clutches make a difference. I really liked your comments in the video. At 61 I learn something every day, from older and younger. Never give up. By the way, before I bought a Trans jack I made my own out of scrap metal and mated it to a floor jack.

I remember hanging out my buddies working on cars great times enjoy while you can

I remember swapping the T-5 in my fox. Bench pressing transmissions never gets old lol.

I bought a 69 scout because of your channel. One of my dream vehicles. It’s currently in a million pieces and I’ve never worked on a car 😂 it’s required me to learn metal work/body work and some fabrication skills. Thanks for all the inspiration.

Keep up the do it yourself mentality. I just finished the axle flip and c-notch on my 65. Never did one before but you gotta learn sometime. Your work ethic is awesome and your truck is killer.

Your truck sounds amazing. I will definitely be watching your channel more often. I will be starting a project sometime this coming September and I would love my car to have this kind of performance. Keep the videos coming!

I love the Freiburger reference. "This is our Zip-Tie moment of the week!"

You really inspire me to work on my own car.. Well done and keep going, I look forward every week.

Love your stuff I watch all the way from Australia keep sending more

Just keep on inspiring me to do more to my 68 F100. I’m aiming drive up there and cruise with you guys one day.

That's a sweet truck. I'm building an 87 with a 351w and your giving me some great ideas to do for mine. Keep up the great work. I was lucky to have some car people in my family but I've learned alot on my own by doing it myself and learning lessons lol

This truck would sound even better with a 3" x-pipe and turn downs. Quickly becoming one of my favorite project trucks next to David Freiburger's C10.

Hey bud been here since day1 you officially outmoded me and your truck sounds sick!!

Did you clean that flywheel off before you installed it because they come with a factory coat to keep them from rusting I’m 21 and also a car enthusiast like you and learned everything I know the same way you did the f100 is bad ass and I can’t wait to see the galaxies done keep up the good work

If you haven’t done the ball bearing mod to the pedal assembly I would definitely recommend it. Mustang Steve sells an awesome kit. Fun afternoon welding project and it really makes the clutch feel nicer. Especially if you replace the z-bar rods with a heim joint based linkage. Makes the whole clutch assembly feel 100 lol

With a light flywheel you might want to upgrade to stiffer valve springs and pushrods as you might end up with valve float with how much more it'll want to rev.

I went all the way back on the F100 and Galaxie(s) and now I’m eagerly awaiting new content. If you ever soft mount that fuel pump or paint your steering column anything but that green, I won’t know what I’m watching!! LOL. Keep up the good work!

I’m really impressed with the aluminum brightening

This is awesome! Thank you for trusting McLeod for your drivetrain needs. #McLeodEquipped

00:05 i found one of those bikes nest to the garbage when i was little it was dope

That flywheel is something I’ve been thinking of buying, I checked on Summit, and it’s actually pretty reasonable. I think I’ll be ordering one,

I love what youve done here. Im definitely buying an aluminum flywheel

Not a bad truck really turning into something cool to c another young gun like f100. Just finished interior and built nice c4 on mine 😜

I do go on to enjoy these. All them, every single one.

We should have merchandise something that says, the Craig 909 never going to soft mount his fuel pump LOL

I noticed nothing as far as quicker revs or (free revs) after my aluminum flywheel install but it was very noticeable on Quicker RPM Deceleration between shifts, I am still reminded by its overall performance value every time i drive it.

we use brightener0 at my work, its meant solely for aluminum but it eats away at dirt too but if your aluminum isn't coated in any sort of protective layer the brightener will burn the aluminum very fast and leave black marks everywhere, the only way to get rid of those is with more brightener, don't let it dire, don't inhale, don't drink, treat it like acid because that's what it is but if you were to fail any of that don't be afraid its nothing too strong... just don't drink it you'll die very very fast lol

Another great video. Love the vids man

Hey bro, just got recommended your video. So I'm sure you've addressed this already, but underneath of your truck is mint. What undercoating did you use, and would you recommend it? I'm undercoating my impala soon and would like any advice you got.

I love the little horn toot when he’s feeling the clutch lol me and my buddies are the same way I swear

Shifting is a hell of a lot better, and easier with 100% less effort, huh Craig? Something I was asking myself about whydoes Craig remind me of stabbing gears yet going nowhere fast? The plastic shifter bushing replacement with a brass one seems to answer the question for me. You're enjoying a thrash in the truck a hell of a lot more without being exhausted on the way home afterwards, Craig? Answers point to yes, I think I would be be moving out of the house and into the truck too as far as the, "I spend so much time in the truck, I might as well figure a way how to sleep in it!" thing. Good Job, Craig!

Great philosophy and the fruit of your efforts are starting to take shape. But what was the oil leak?

Awesome video Craig! Trucks looks and sounds badass. Always enjoy watching these!!

Fantastic job Young man. Keeping it alive just like generations past.

The sounds of an old carbureted v8 is unbeatable

Granted Craig it will have more power just for the fact that it takes less to turn less... that said, and not negatively is that mass equals more torque as laws of nature prevail. It sounds crisp and very responsive but the exhaust so close to the cabin is a bit harder to hear a radio, or loose bolts a jingling around.... just saying cause of how much you love your rigs. I think that you nailed what you were shooting for!!

sounds sick with no headers!

That Ole Ford sounds sick awesome 👌 👏 👍🏻

When are we going to see a new exhaust on the truck?!

So what was the cause of the oil leak?

Hey Craig, Fine work! All the best and support from Germany!

That flywheel sounds awesome.

Man you're truck sounds awesome! I always enjoy your content Craig, keep it coming.

Cool - I love to do an upgrade when having to make a repair

Great video and advice, you don’t know until you try. But stay committed.

wow, the sound is incredible!

Great video Craig! You are an inspiration how you dive in and do things and learn as you go and don’t give up ! Love your videos.

Music to my ears

Sorry I may have missed it in an earlier video, but what cam are you running? Keep up the good work sir

I love the aluminum flywheels, I have one on my 347 stroker in my 79 pinto and I had one in a fox l used to have that i converted to a 5.0 from the wimpy 4 banger, but you can most definitely tell that the aluminium flywheel is in it after you use the fat heavy cast iron one because it revs quicker and accelerates faster as well, next get a aluminum driveshaft and you will free up more power between the two that compliment each other really well, I hope that I can finish up my pinto this weekend so I can drive it for the first time but I totally dig your truck, its come a long way since you first started on it and it is badass . I love the idle it sounds sick , do you know the cam specs on it? If you read this long message 🤣 let me know what they are but ill probably just get the heart like always because nobody really reads the long ones 😂🤣

Wow, that joker sounds so sweet.

You need to take your truck to the drag strip again and see what it will do now with all the work you put into it.

I always like to put a little black rtv around my seals👍

Tearing apart and fixing stuff on my truck is always something I wanted to do, only bummer for me in that it's my work truck and is used all but 1 day a week. But I am working on saving money and I'll have some time this summer/fall and I want to tear into it and make it better/cooler

Damn the chop on that thing!

T5 has different output splines compared to the Tremec 3550. I believe T5 is 28 and 3550 is 31 spline.

Love watching these videos

Never heard a carbon citizens song slowed down, senna sounds pretty cool!

Hey are you ever going to swap to a rear tank Between the frame rails? If so I would really like to see how you do it the people on the form say to use a 70 mustang fuel tank I’m gonna try it when mine gets here thanks man in advance for responding

Sick vid always great when the hard work is paying off! Truck sounds amazing please get rid of the super 10s! Maybe try black widows??

Ha! And I thought I was the only one who left the drive line bolts loose! Sometimes s@$t just happens and sometimes we catch it when it does. Great work you're doing.

The first 5 minutes of this video pretty much sums up how my life goes 😂

i think it would look and just be so cool if you could get your hands on a used 671

How's the flywheel on the dragstrip ?? I got 64 C20 I'm build as a street strip truck . I'm debating about either sticking with the steel or going to aluminum and clutch from mantic

Great video keep up the good work

What resonators did you install? or did you put a pipe

Honest opinion on the light weight flywheel for a daily?

Hey budi love the truck and what your doing to it. Im trying to find a dodge truck from the same year to do what your doing. Thanks again

You are correct. keep up the good work. You got this

What was the source of your oil leak? I was thinking rear main seal.

Where i work we still make metal parts for that model tho, greetings fom Arg!

Ur trucks Twin is here up mid way Cali.

Sounds Great with open Headers!

Wondering what sound a metal plate makes? I got one too. Watch for cupping with heavy pressure plate. mine is adjustable. I think 1800-2200 lbs. Not a serious issue but can be.

Awesome video!

I use to watch your videos and be like: Cool nother ford restomod Now: Oh s^&t I can start modding my truck now I bought a 67 Dodge W200

what engine specs and cam specs was it? when are you gonna reveal youre new engine?

Man that sounds GREAT !

Did you fix your engine oil leak? You kinda skipped over that part.

Good video Craig!

I can't believe how fucking fast that thing spins up

Be careful if you go T5. They will shatter like glass with just a bit too much power or bang shifting

Just like when I was his age but things actually work!

Good clutches , I have one in my f250 . Build On

How do you like the manual brakes, and do you have stuff for power brakes?

Yo i live in ramona also. Ill have to come out to the cruise and see this beast lol

Awesome video 👍

Yes posting

Hi I really want a f100 now

you should do an x-pipe. that thing would sound even better with those mufflers

Yeah man I’m thinking about getting an F 100 like yours but this guy has it here in my town that he has it multicolored like top in the top of the cabinet doors and then the bottom of the doors I think it’s probably about the same here as yours but it’s an automatic but that’s fine but make it as loud in and change the motor and make it louder exactly like yours because I like the type of truck you got almost ended up with one like yours but the guy sold it away from him to me

Saludos desde Mexico 🇲🇽

Next mod. Put a scatter shield in and do away with the aluminum bell housing
