351W flywheel

the flywheel on my 73 351w is too big to fit inside the bell of the '72 mav's c4

20 what flywheel d0 i need?

28oz 157 tooth?

anyone happen to have what i need f/s before i log onto summit?

 

the 351's flywheel does fit inside this tran's bell housing

should i just swap them? will my shifterlinkage still all work and can i keep the tq converter?

i dont think the big bell will fit in our cars i know i had an issue with this some years ago in a '67 Mustang. just find a good used 302 157T flywheel.... should be several out there

 

what balance does it need to be?

 

early, 28 oz balance... can be from a 289 or 302 up untill around '82 or so

 

cool thanks!

 

i thought 28 and 50 oz were the choices?

 

They were. 28oz is the old 302/289 and all 351. 50oz is the 82ish and newer 302.

 

try this one http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=TCI-529618&autoview=sku

 

I thought I heard here somewhere that the 351w's were 28 oz imbalance like the pre '82 302s. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I have a flywheel from a 75 comet 302. Will take $50 plus shipping. Zip 33241

 

this is correct... all 289's, pre '82ish 302's and all 351W's share the 28 oz. imbalance

 

The first two years of production the 289 used a different imbalance - I don't remember off the top of my head but I remember the early C4s had a special balance on the flex plates that is not compatible with the 70 Maverick.

 

thanks Paul, i did not know this


would this be consistant with the 5 bolt bellhousing models of the 289 since they're the earliest?

 

I am working from memory... but I think so.
