Balance Method
Hi all -
I recently had a used motor installed in my 84 F250. There is a bit of vibration in the motor and I suspect the flywheel. The engine is from a 74 lincoln, a 460 (casting C4VE).
The engine had a flywheel for a automatic transmission, so I had the flywheel from the original 84 motor swapped on (The truck is a manual shift). I believe that the 84 was externally balanced and that is the cause of the vibration.
Can anyone verify if the 74 lincoln 460 is internally balanced? I don't want to swap flywheels if that is not the problem.
Thanks!

Well, I think I've answered my own question, just minutes after posting. A search on this forum revealed a thread about a 460 flywheel (someone had the same question, just with different year motors). I apologize for the redundant post. It appears I need a zero balance flywheel.
The problem is finding one. Anyone have a source? Will a flywheel from a TE 460 fit on this?
Thanks for any help...
