Flywheel

[turbinesurgeon]

I was wondering if anybody knows if I can use a 164 tooth flywheel that came off 1973 Q code Cleveland on a 72 302? I pulled the entire 4speed assy from a 351 car to convert mine from an automatic. The 351 from the car is long gone and they replaced it with a 302 which blew up. Is there any other parts that would be different for the four speed set up?

Thanks

Yes you can use the flywheel, and yes you will need a manual specific starter to engage the ring gear.

you will need the 164 tooth bellhousing as well.

I do have the bell housing that came with it. Is this a 28oz. fly wheel then? Do you know if I should use the 11" clutch assy for it or the 10.5?

Thanks for the tip about the starter, I have two starters from my automatics, I just assumed they were the same.

all 351w and 351c flywheels are 28oz imbalance wheels. as for clutch size, i would go with the 11" clutch.

"all 351w and 351c flywheels are 28oz imbalance wheels. as for clutch size, i would go with the 11" clutch."

So then only the 1982 + 5.0 liter/302 has the 50 oz imbalance?

Yes.

I'd go with the 11" clutch too.
