Wrong flywheel?
Hello every one!
I swaped my 96 f-250 from E4OD to a 5 speed and I think I have the wrong flywheel the truck shakes now. I think I have a 89 302 flywheel and my truck is a 351. Can I swap my balancer and get it to stop shaking?

The only way to correct it is to install a flywheel for your 351. I dont remember what the weight diffrence is. I ran into this problem when I swaped from a 302 to 351 in My 88 F150. If you just change the balancer the crankshaft still will not be in balance.
I wouldn't drive it or run the engine untill I changed the flywheel. You will take the chance of damaging the internals. I bought my flywheel at orileys for around $100

I'm lost with the p/n zf p/n? I'm new on here but anyway.... I do know one thing the best flywheel to use and be safe is one out of a truck the same year with the same motor

What year 351 flywheels will work on my 96 or do they all work?
