I have 1972 351c I need a flex plate, will a 351w,351m work? Is a 351c externally balanced?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Nov-02 AT 10:17 PM (EST)]Looking in the catalogs, it seems a 351w will work. Most Ford v8's are externally balanced.

I believe the 351C, 351W and 351M are share the same 28 oz external balance factor.

I am doing this same thing- a 289/302/351w flexplate for a pre-82 engine will work. These were all 28oz imbalances. After 82, they went to a 50oz imbalance.
