84 302 engine vibration?
my brother in law has a 1984 ford f150-302 rebuilt the motor and it has a bad vibration?? he thinks maybe -flywheel/flex plate or harmonic balancer-they were off diffrent year truck-I got 2 old trucks-1987 and 1994 302- will the harmonic balancers and or flex plates work off them???-trying to help him out and save him a few bucks!!I was not around when he did the re build but it has been 2 years since and he is starting to get worried-I figure it must be external problem-since it has been 2 years and motor is still together????

There are 2 different setups for the 302. I cannot remember the exact year they changed, but some are 28oz off-balance and the others are 50oz off-balance.
Mixing these together will indeed cause a bad vibration.
Do you know what year the crankshaft is? You will need to know which crank the engine has, to be able to know which balancer/flexplate combo is needed.
