I have bought an used Stroker engine for my Mustang.
The new engine is 28oz.in. balanced. The harmonic dampener installed
is Professional Products, 80006 , 9,52lbs , 6.4" ,28,4oz.in. Eagle stroker
kit, 347cid.
My question is, I have a C.A.T power SFI steel flywheel, 50oz.in from my
old motor. The 50 weight is removable, bolted on this flywheel.
I was thinking, to reduce the total surface of the counterweight,
but I need to know the weight of the 28oz.in unit ?
Some one told me 150,9 grams. Anyone know this?

Thanks.

Seriously, I would get a differnt flywheel. CAT is cheep chinese garbage that is prone to failure. You can call fordstrokers.com for a reputable billet flywheel at good cost. Either way you go, you should have the whole rotating assembly balanced with the balancer and the flywheel.

...Hmmm, Intereting. Ok, I didn t ask for what to do insted of this.
We reduced the weight, and It worked really well.
BTW, If you get everything so well balanced, what about the heavy pressure plate, is It Swiss made, and absolutly perfect balanced ?
What do you want to do If you like to change flywheel or pressure plate in the future?
Sometimes Gearheads like myself need to do things thats not so , go to your nearest speedshop and by your new parts, or use xx $ for balancing etc
Sorry, just Me,
