super coupe 3.8 flywheel

is the imbalance on the flywheel on the 3.8 the same as the 5.0?
can i use a 5.0 fly on a 3.8?

as far as I know all v6's have a neutral balance and depending on the year of the 302, it might have a 28oz or a 50 oz.

Not the same.See if you can find a V6 3.8L mustang with a 5-speed and rob the Flywheel.

No no no no no no!


The SC engine is 0oz balance while the 88 and up n/a 3.8 are 38oz balance..  5.0s are 50oz balance (after 83) and 87 down v6's are 28oz balance.  3.8's after 96 had a differnt balance than the older ones...


So uh yeah..
One 88

nope,, you picked up a supercharged engine,,, :grinno: not a super coupe,,,

btw,, i think i just may have fugged up my flywheel  (maybe not)with all this talk i see. I was never really sure what to do on my fly wheel so i went to the bone yard and the ole guy had a bunch of them marked with the type of car.  I have a 1980 302 block so i searched out and found a linc town car one and it was stamped with i think an e2 casting number.  hope i didnt screw up.
