I have a 1993 explorer with an auto trans and I am swapping it into a 1983 ranger with the tk5. The question is: Can I use the 2.8 flywheel on the 4.0?
 
I used a 2.9 flywheel on mine. If the 2.8 can use the 4.0 flywheel it should work the other way around..

Keep in mind though that it'll be significantly smaller.

I have a toss-up now between spinning tires and slipping the clutch.
 
doing so bypasses the great advantage that the heavier 4.0 flywheel offers in drivability and the greater holding power offered by the larger 4.0 clutch.

Besides the 4.0 really needs the greater inertial mass of the 4.0 flywheel

So while you can, why do you want to use a 2.8 flywheel?
