I went to the machine shop today to see if they can balance my truck flywheel with the stock 5.0 engine and they told me that I have to take the crankshaft, pistons, damper, etc. etc.. And that it
will cost me $250 for the job!!! Now is a lot of money and is a lot of work!!! Plus if I ever have to replace the flywheel I will have to
go through all this again. Well, NOW I NEED MORE HELP. Can I use the flywheel of a 92 ford pickup that has a 302 ( since these are the same engines that the mustang engine I have, well with less horses) and forget about the balancing of the flywheel? Also will the 92 ford pickup flywheel allow the use of the 11 inch
clutch??

First off this is the Jeep section for FORD questions go over there you fawkin NEWBIE:flipoff2: :flipoff2:


Then if you know the imbalnce weight (50 oz) the machine shop should be able to balnace it with out all that other junk.

And YES a flywheel off any truck 302 1982ish or later will work.

I have my flywheel from an 87 302. that goes to my stang motor.

tks for the info. and I know this is a jeep forum, the ford engine is going into my 84 CJ7. SORRY ABOUT MY STUPIDITY!!!
