351M Flywheel Spec

Hello, I'm new to the forum and a recent new owner of a 79 Bronco (long awaited I might add). In any case I am looking for a little help.

The Bronco is a project truck and was purchased without an engine. Reason being is because prior to the Bronco purchase I picked up a 79 351M which I am working on restoring. One area I am not 100% sure on is the flywheel. I know it is a 28oz imbalance flywheel but I am having trouble finding one at a reasonable price. Centerforce makes one but is almost $600.

I have found a few used ones on ebay but one thing I am not sure of: is the flywheel the same for an auto trans as it is for a manual?

I believe most 351M's were backed by an auto so they seem to be pretty available, my hope is that the manual trans used the same one. Any input is appreciated!

Thanks

Manual trannys use a flywheel. Autos use a flexplate. Totally different. Still high but about half of the other one.
