Does a flywheel for a late model CJ5 with a 258 engine work on my 73 CJ5?

I need confirmation that a flywheel for a late model CJ5 with a 258 engine will work with my 73 CJ5.

I ordered a LUK flywheel model # LFW192 for my 73 CJ5. I am double guessing myself if the flywheel will work since it wasn’t listed for my model year. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work since it’s the same engine.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks

 

I would imagine different part numbers indicates definite differences. Maybe weight or ring gears are different.

 

Flywheel is the same up to 1979, 80 up they changed.

 

My book starts in '74, and says that the 74-79 sixes have the same flywheel, 3212623. The 1980 is different, 3236257.

Just off the top of my head, I'd say they are the same - the sixes are internally balanced, so they can't be balanced differently I believe the crank bolt pattern is the same - the stroker guys put the 4.0L flywheel on the 258 crank to get retain the CPS trigger.

In fact, here's a thread about it - http://www.jeepstrokers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1933 - apparently there is a change in the location of the ring gear, and the year of starter has to match the year of the flywheel.

 

Thanks for the information! I am returning the LUK I bought since it's listed for an 82 CJ5. Just ordered a Omix-Ada model #1691203 listed under 73 CJ5. The problem is that it is over double the cost :-( oh well.

Thanks again!

 

I used the '72 232 flywheel on an '83 258 when I rebuilt mine. But I did use the '72 starter. I never had a problem with it.
