904 to T-5-WC swap

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

360 flywheels are available new but I am not sure if a
standard 360 flywheel will work with the T-5.  If you
are looking for a new one, let me know.  You can
balance a flywheel without the crank if you have the
old flywheel that was balanced to that engine.  All
they need to do is put the old flywheel on the machine
to get the setting and then match balance the new
flywheel to the old.  I just had this done on a
harmonic balancer for a balanced engine that was
already assembled.  The guy wanted to switch to an SFI
certified balancer so match balanced it to the one
that was used to balance his rotating assembly.

The bell housing off a 6 is the same as on the V-8
isn't it.  I found a 
Bell 
off a 73, was looking at changing out my sons 74
Javelin 904 auto to a 
Ford 
1985 T-5-WC (got two last week after looking for over
a year for a good 
one), all I need at this point is a good Bell Housing
and a Fly Wheel 
for 
the 360, how far off do you think the balance would be
on the fly wheel 
off 
the 6?

Was told that to balance it to the 360 I would need to
pull the crank 
for 
the Machine shop to use and also told it would be best
if they had the 
rods 
and pistons to balance also, sounds like allot of work
if I can't find 
a 360 
fly wheel.
