flexplates

Greetings, I went through the backlog of discussions and could not find any info on what type of flex plate to install on an 1986 F150 that is being converted from manual to automatic. I have seen two types so far the 50 oz and the 28 oz. Does anyone know the type that would fit this application?

Thanks in advance

Fatz

All 351w and '81-earlier 302 are 28oz imbalance. Post '81 ('82 and newer) have the 50oz imbalance.

No, any flexplate from a 302 '82 and newer will work for you.
