v8 Flywheel
#2
It's my understanding that II flywheels are worth the vehicle's weight in gold since they're near impossible to find now. As far as the balance, I'm not sure if they're 28.2 or not, all I've ever heard of was 28. So I don't know if people were just dropping the .2 ounce or if they're actually a straight 28 ounce imbalance. @74stang2togo might be able to help with the imbalance issue? As for actually getting one, I think your best bet might be Ebay at this point unless someone knows something that I don't.

Napa still has the flexplate for a 302/C4 car.

The flywheel for the 302/manual car is a lot harder to find.

Phil might have one, but his parts are seldom cheap:

Automatic stuff but you get the idea



I thought this picture useful.
141 tooth M2 Flex plate by 1966 ~ 289 ~ 157 tooth flex plate. Both 6 bolt bell housing.
Notice how starter is tucked in on smaller block plate.





Look close for part numbers. Bell~BE-D5ZP-7976-AA, Block Plate~D5ZE-6A373-AB, Flex plate D5ZZ-6375-A (this one hard to read)
Also no '6 bolt hole' ring under Flex plate mounting bolts like on 65-66 mustangs with C4

Hey Isegrim
Post some fresh pics of that purple beauty.

A Flywheel option is available with the Mustang 2 scatter shield from Quick time and a 157 tooth fly wheel giving you more options of using the various10.5 clutch plates out there.
Kind of expensive but better than non existent.

I had the same problem. There is a firm that takes the Napa flywheel and replaces the weight to produce the correct weight flywheel for the II. I had mine made by the last winter. I’ll find the information tomorrow and post it.
