Ok, a while back i blew the motor in my '94 F-150, it was a 5.0. I spent a while looking around until i found another enging to put in it...finall found one it was a 5.0 that came out of a '96 F-150. Here's the problem...everything lines up and bolts together great, no problems whatsoever....until i start it. The weight on the flexplate keeps rubbing up aginst the dust plate, or block plate which ever you prefer, it isn't bent btw. Were the flexplates changed between 94 and 96 or it there something else that could be causing this??? I'm lost as to what the problem is...any help at all...PLEASE...
I don't think you can put a flexplate on backwards because the holes won't line up. I was wondering what trans he had because the flexplate offset is different from a c-6 to an eaod/aod and it takes different backing plates.
