Flywheel/Starter
I have had a 302 in my truck stock, and I recently purchased a new starter for it. The truck also had a M5OD transmission. I have now removed that 302/M5OD and am putting in a stroked 351 with a ZF. The 351 uses a different flywheel than the 302, but I was wondering how many teeth are on that flywheel? I might return the starter I bought because I can get a hi-po ford racing one for about the same price. Therefore, I need to know how many teeth are on that flywheel so I get the right starter. Also, is that 302/M5OD starter able to be used on the 351/ZF? If it fits I might use that instead of a ford racing one. Any info is appriciated.

I believe the starters are interchangeable, the only difference between the flywheels is the imbalance weight. You can just overlay the 302/M5OD on the 351/ZF flywheel to confirm. (unless the trannies are still bolted to the engines, of course 
)

Your a good man!
That was bugging me for a while. I am going to store the 88 460 untill I need it. I am going to use the 76 460 in my f250, just have to find a neutral balance flywheel, and a clutch and pressure plate to mate up with my Zf 5speed.
Thanks!! Steve.
