Are you wanting a flywheel or a flexplate?

I gave up looking for one after about 6 months and just bought a new Centerforce. Of course a good deal showed up on Ebay not two weeks after that..(sigh). It is really hard to find the factory 428 flywheels with the cast-in counterwieght. The Centerfore was simply their 'standard' FE flywheel drilled all to heck to make it 428 balance. I suppose you could just do that with a 360/390 flywheel as well if you have a good balance shop nearby that knows where the imblance is supposed to be clocked.

If the motor is apart, you'd probably be money ahead to just get the crankshaft zero balanced so it wasn't an issue ever again.. JMO

And of course I spent all that time looking for a flywheel, bought the expensive Centerforce, and then hauled everything to the balance shop anyway.

Good point.
