Guys,
I've been building a 4.6 2v for a turbo for a while now. I'm well on my way now starting to get to the accessories part of the build. Basically I have a Windsor block from my 1999 Mustang Gt 2v, and I put in a forged crank (I was told it was an 03-04 cobra crank, I can tell it's forged, but apparently the 99-01 cobra cranks were also forged??).
Here is the problem though. With all the mixing of parts and year models I don't know if I need to very carefully choose my Harmonic Balancer and flywheel? I believe I read the 99-2000 mustangs were externally balanced and the 01-04 were internally balanced? Is this right?
So do I just really need to match the crank? it has an 8 bolt flange for the flywheel, maybe that'll help identify exactly which year. I'm just at a loss because there are so many possibilities to choose from and I don't want to crank it the first time and it blow up.
Thanks for any help
