i know this has been asked before but my search function will not give me the answers i want. i am bringing my engine to the machine shop later this week. building a 306 stock crank,stock rods w/arp's and probe pistons,anderson cam. and i want to buy a new balancer this week before i take it to the shop. well im confused on which balancer to use. it is an 88 motor so i pretty sure i need to order a 50 oz flywheel gonna be billet unless i should get an aluminum same price?

but if i get a 50oz.flywheel do i have to get a 50 oz balancer? cause i have heard that these motors had 32/or 34 oz. or something like that? help.

or can i get 28 oz( or is there a downside ) since they have to balance it antway. help as im ordering this today if i can get figured out, the last piece of the puzzle before i can bring my block in?

you need a externally balanced set up meaning a 50 oz flywheel and 50 ozbalancer no if ands or buts on a latemodel stock set up.......if you wanted to reduce balance to 28 you need to swap to a 28 oz crank then you could use all 28 oz balance stuff

hey thanks for the info mjr46 i got another question in the ford book i got it says they used a 50 oz flywheel and a 34 oz balancer right for stock ?that doesnt matter i take it .

this is the stock crank out of it that doesnt matter for using stock crap your saying i need 50/50 for my setup then ? just want to be positive

Anytime I've ever ordered anything for a late modelmustang 302 it's been labled as 50oz ....don't know what book your reading or refering to but 50/50 is what is needed.....here is a good balancer I'd use if I were you...you'll also need the spacer for correct belt alignment but it's what I'm using

cool badass man thanks for the help ordering now haha

is that balancer in your green coupe 306? thanks man and nice cars

mjr46

actually that's not in either it was going into my 85 gt which is the fast one but I decided to do a 347 instead of fix my 11 to 1 306....I'm waiting on the arrival of my 347 from ford strokers and I'll be using the 90006 balancer which is the same as the one I posted for you but for a 28 oz balance motor as that's what my 347 is going to be

hey since your building your motor now too well should i get an aluminum flywheel fidanza $250 or a ram billet $275 not worried about the price what are the pros and cons if u had any or have u ran either?
