So I got a 1978 Mustang with a 1975 302 with a II C4 automatic. The flexplate is stock 28 OZ Balance. I want to put a 1991 5.0L H.O engine in the car. I searched our Forum and I am still a little confused.

What I gather:
-I need a 50 OZ balance flex plate.
-Art Carr makes one.

My questions. Is this a 100% bolt in deal? What starter will I need? Stock Mustang II V8 starter?? Someone mentioned needing a mini starter, someone else mentioned grinding stuff If a fabrication hat is required, I would just as soon have my flexplate re-balanced, If the Art carr flex plate is a bolt in, I would spend the money to make it easier. If we get a 100% answer out of this round we should make this a sticky!!!!
(we currently have two pages of conflicting information)

The guy at Art Carr says the stock starter will work?

Any competent machine shop can rebalance your flexplate to 50 oz. for about 50-75 bucks. stay with the 141 tooth flexplate.
