I just pulled my old spec billet steel flywheel out, been in there for 10yr (35k miles)!
Since the machine shop got my parts back then, I couldn't confirm the balance (asked for 28oz) as they assembled it. SO... is this a 28oz flywheel (assuming yes? note there are 4 missing slugs in the lower right corner):


Replaced it w/a new Fidanza AL flywheel, spec 2+ and getting some vibration between 1500-2500 rpms. Trying to diagnosis the vibration as I put the smaller 28oz weight on the Fidanza. Balancer is an old SFI Pioneer.... Revs OK and idles ok, maybe some vibration letting off the gas though.

5.0 engines have always been 50 oz imbalance engines, early 302's and 351's have always been 28 oz.

Is there a part number visible on the flywheel?

Unless you have an aftermarket rotating assembly, stock imbalance is going to be 50oz on a factory 5.0.

Don't see a part#, the engine is custom: B50 block, 331ci. I asked for 28oz when it was built, all I have is this:

A quick idle test appears to be fairly smooth, will try revving tomorrow to narrow down if it's d/s or just engine side.

SFI thats a safety certification class number. Racing rules stuff.
