In my futile quest to locate a flywheel for my 250I6 manual conversion I pieced enough information together to come up with this plan but wanted to bouce it off others who are smarter than me. Here it is, based on my limited understanding. An older 302 flywheel has the same bolt patterns and teeth (157) as the 250 should have. The difference is the balancing. 250 engines are balanced, therfore the flywheel is inbalance). So if I take my existing flexplate and a 302 balanced flywheel down to a machine shop and have the flywheel balance removed and matched to the flexplate balance(no balance) from the automatic that is on the car now I should be good to go, Correct? Let me know if this will work or if I missed something. Thanks- Rodney
Have you check on an Internal Balance 302 flywheel? Here's one but I'd check around first for a better price. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-6375-D302B/ To answer your question...yes a machine shop can re-balance a 28oz to a zero oz
The 300 flywheel will bolt onto a 302 and has no wedge of cheese on it. Son if you can use a 302 fw I don't see why one for a 300 wouldn't work.
i am working on this on as soon as the sun break tomorrow ill be doing this iv done got every thing ready to do the swap
