How do you tell if you need the 28oz or the 50oz flywheel. My mustang came with a 11" when I bought it. Doesnt it have something to do with the Harmonic dampener?

a stock 5.0 is externally balanced at two points. the flywheel and damper. if its a 302 then u need a 50 oz. im pretty sure the 28 is for when u stroke ur motor.

the 28oz offset is the 1982 or 1985 or sometime along there, well before then, 302's used the 28oz. For some damn reason Ford decided to go to a 50oz after then until modern times. When you balance an engine, you need to supply a flywheel/flewplate and a damper, but they need to match up, meaning dont mix match the dampers and flywheels. If its a 28oz motor, get the 28oz flywheel and damper, if its an earlier 50oz motor get a 50oz flywheel and damper.

Good luck
