Flywheel balance?? HELP!

I'm putting a 84 302 in a 70 F100 with a manual trans.

The newest flywheel the parts store can find is an 80.

Is the balance the same from 80 to 84?? I know they changed balances around that time but I am unsure about the specifics.

PLEASE HELP! Thanks

The one you need has 50oz imbalance. I don't know how many teeth. You can probably get one at a junk yard for $40-$50.

The teeth count should be 157; have you tryed Ford yet? Ford Motorsport list #M-6375-B302 as cast iron stock replacement for 81 and later 302 engines with 50.0 oz and 157 tooth or you may get lucky off Ebay.

OK, so I might try to ask the parts store for a 351W flywheel, 82 or newer? I find it strange that they couldnt find me what I needed.

s393, do you have an idea of the price of said M-6375-B302?

Another question: Do the newer flywheels also use the same diameter clutch disc (11 inch I think) as the 67-72 Ford manual trans stuff??

I really appreciate the help from all of you!
Thanks alot!

Curt

All 351 flywheels are 28oz imbalance. The flywheel you need is for 82-later 302 only. It has to be 50oz imbalance or it will vibrate badly.

Not sure of the FMS price but it should fall within your price range as it is the stock iron unit, not aluminum.
