351W flywheel

Saw a post where a guy said his flywheel bolted to a 302 no matter what position he tried it in. I think he eventually said that was incorrect and that the bolt-holes only truly match in the correct position.
Is this true for the 351W? Does the flywheel only bolt on one way?
TIA,

Same for the 351w . Reason being, both the 351 and 302 are external balanced by the flywheel thus the flywheel has to be installed in one position only to balance the engine.

Thanx. I can rule out having screwed that up when I put my engine back together.

unless you used the wrong flywheel with incorrect weight 302=50oz 351w=28oz

Had the exact same flywheel on two different engines. Used the one from original engine 'cause it looked almost new.
If you've followed my other posts, seems like vibration I'm getting is from needing to re-do the crankshaft/bearings. Sucks, but can't wait to do it right next time!
Thanks,
