351m flywheel freespin????
Hi I have a 1979 F150 4x4 with the 351m. Stock motor with headers and 4barrel carb automatic transmission. I was getting some knocking noise that later turned into the starter kicking in and hitting the flywheel. I thought the starter just crapped out. Put a new one in and It spinns the flywheel but not the motor??? I pulled the plate on the back of the motor to see the flywheel and watched it as the starter was ingaged and it spun but the motor didnt. I can reach in and turn it with my hand. Could this be the flex plate? Does it even have a flex plate? I saw teeth on it but I thought is was supposed to be attached to the motor and not move.
This sounds crazy can anyone help or have any ideas???
Thanks in advance.

I'm not a mechanic but sound flywheel/flexplate problem at the crank. Lose bolt at the crank then the bolts broke off or the hole in your flywheel at the crank enlarge so much they reach the next set of hole and rip everything all arround.
Your probably have to remove the trans from the block buy seperate them and used longer bolt to allow you to remove the bolt at the crank with a long flat wrench. remove the bolts from the torque and slide out the flyweel. I know i did that on a 318 but never try an a 351m. My thinking.
