Proformance make a balancer for the 50oz with both bolt patterns so you can use your orginal pulleys. MSD and Crane make a steel dist gear which has to be used. Your flywheel is 157 teeth. These are also available in the 50oz size. I have done many of the change overs. Reuse your original timing cover, install your fuel pump eccentric.

I'll do some research on the Proformance Balancer. Could eliminate a lot of issues. But I feel its better to keep the original balancer and flexplate with the crank. I would like to hear from someone who has installed one of these. Ford had several different balancers with different set backs and gobs of different pulleys.
Yes, B+M makes a 50oz flexplate for the 157t C4

The bummer about this is the water pump outlet is on the driverside so you will have to take your radiator to the shop and have the lower neck relocated to the opposite side.

i baught a 65 mustang(289) from a guy and the engine was sizied so i got a engine out of a 86 mustang(302) and i was going to put back together with te balencer off of the 289 so i wouldnt have to buy a new pulley. ive been told that it that it has to be 56oz or somthing like that but i looked in summit and they have all diff. weights. i was woundering if yall could advise me on this? Also im planing on using the old fly wheel but i dont know if it has to be a certain weight and will the distributar out of the 289 work in the 302?
