Spacer between engine and trans
Has any one ever bought the clutches off eBay there under $200

Might be a better question for a mustang forum....the corral.net is OK....or Google search is always your friend.

351 should be 28oz imbalance, like the earlier 302's.

you should be able to get a 157 tooth flywheel and use the stock fox body style bell. the only difference might be ring gear offset, which is easily fixed by using a different starter should be plug and play.

can't help you on the clutch though...

Yes you can get a 157 tooth 28 oz flywheel. That's what I have for my 351w swap. You should be able to change to the smaller weight for your flywheel to work with the balancer but the clutch seems a little extreme for the engine. That's where you will have to dig the rest of the info. I think you should just use a good single clutch and flywheel you know will work.

for what it's worth, a 70 mustang flywheel is 157 tooth, but you have to use a 10" clutch instead of 10.4/10.5
