EFI conversion & Flexplates
I was wondering if any of you guys that have done a conversion have had or have heard of issues regarding different flex plates.
What I am doing is a 95 5.0 HO swap into my 73 Bronco with a C4.
My question is this. When reading through a bunch of different articles I ran across one that stated that the weights and or balancing on the flex plates was different and possibly the tooth count also. but for the life of me I can not find were it was at. Have any of you heard or know anything about it? Something like 27oz VS. 50oz of ballancing.
I am switching the computer, Mass Air, and distributor over to a 93 with the A9L computer. I will be using a RJM harness along with the HP and LP Carter pumps.
Also, I found someone with two T3 turbos they were going to use on a custom TT foxbody set up. I may grab those and build my old block for a twin turbo set up, has anyone heard or seen this done?
Any and all input is welcome

Yes there is a balancing difference between the early 302 (28.8 oz) and the later model 5.0's (50 oz).
I haven't dealt with the 5.0 to C4 myself, but everything I have read says that the 89-93 Mustang AOD flexplate has the same bolt pattern as the Bronco C4. This seems to be what everyone is using.
