I forgot the link...

And since I'm sending another message... I want to change my answer to "it depends"

If part of your crankshaft balance is on the flexplate then yes, you will have to get an externally balanced flywheel.

Last question for now. The motor is a externally balanced stroker. With the crank, balancer and flexplate attached and balanced. What if I install a flywheel on the motor, will it be out of balance? 


thanks
mike

I did that very swap this year in my 70 with 525 hp Rat. It is a piece of cake. I already had a center force clutch so all I bought was the TKO600 and the yoke and speedometer adapter. The cross member only has to be moved rearward a little and the holes are already in the frame. You have to shorten the drive shaft 1.5" or so. Im running 410 gears in mine and what a difference in 5th gear There is very little floor tunnel mod to do just a jack and a 4x4 will do I run my Hurst handle and it fits GREAT in the consol. Good luck and if you have more questions e-mail me and Ill try to help   Steve
