you can use a 10.5", 157t, 28oz flywheel. basically it is the same as a stock 5.0 flywheel with the exception of it being 28oz instead of 50oz. just make sure that you know what balance your motor is though.

 

[samickguy15]

You need to determine the motor balance before you choose a flywheel. Either that or buy(or re-use) the flywheel and have it re-balanced if it's wrong...

every 351w ever made is 28oz balance*

 

[samickguy15]

I didn't remember right off hand if they changed balance or if it was just the 5.0 that changed. He may also have an aftermarket motor which may carry a different balance (maybe a zero balance motor).

351's use 164 tooth flywheels with 28 oz balance.

351's use 164 tooth flywheels with 28 oz balance.

In order to mate the t-5 bellhousing to the 351w and use the factory starter you will have to use the same tooth count as the 5.0L use. This is 157. I have a 351w in my stang and I have a 157 tooth 28 oz center force flywheel.

Huh, sorry I didnt catch this earlier but thanks for the correction. I always thought it was 164 tooth and 28 oz, is this right in any case?
