Flywheel balance?

I understand that there is a difference between 302 flywheels and damphers (for manual transmissions) based on year of production. What year flywheels and damphers can I use on a '71 302? And are all 302's externally balanced? Thanks

Sometime in the mid 80's they went to the 50oz balance. I don't think the 351 ever changed. You can use a 351 flywheel for the early 302's. They are externally balanced. You can tell the difference in the balance weights by looking at the flywheels.

'82 was the change over year for the 5.0L to go from the early 28.8 to the 50 oz balance factor. 351's stayed at 28.8, as far as I know.
