ive got a question on flywheels, im working on my 75 f250, its got a 390, but came with a 360, not thinking i asked for a clutch for a 390 at the parts house, got the old one out and realized they arent the same, 10 inch and 11 inch or whatever they are. anyway, i want the bigger one but the flywheel doesnt have the right holes for the pressure plate. can i have a machine shop drill and tap new ones or should i just find a different one?

There should be no problem doing that, or get a 390 flywheel...they're zero balance. Early 429/460 flywheel is the same thing.

[dave186]

the 360 flywheel should be zero balance as well right?

[dave186]

well i stopped by NAPA today and they can sell me a reman flywheel for $50, so i think i will just go that route.

Heck, you can't argue with that!
I'm prtty sure that the 360 is zero bal. as well, as are all FE's.

50 bucks,,,hell, thats a no brainer without hitting the pocket book. :cool:

[dave186]

and thats regular price. if i charge it to the company account i get a good discount. of course there is a core charge, as it is a reman but i dont think they will notice the difference in bolt holes.

All but the 428, it is externally balanced!.. ;)
