and i think this might work

so as everyone know iv been trying to track down a 250 inline 6 straight shift fly wheel for a the past week....... so iv been doing so research about a fly wheel that might interchange so here it go's a 250 is internally balanced and uses a smaller flywheel 157 tooth and it has a zero balance unlike the 302 that are 28oz and 50oz so that knock them in the head but a 300 inline 6 is also internally balanced and they used a 164 or 184 tooth i think

so tomorrow im going to go to the junk yard and try to find a fly wheel off of a 300 inline 6 and a bellhousing that the fly wheel fits in because they are larger than the 250 but i am will to try this and will let everyone know if this will or will not work so wish me luck

 

The 300 uses the same bellhousing as a 302

 

and so dose the 250 except the 250 used a 10in clutch and the 300 use a 11in clutch but yea that should be easy to find

 

has any one else tryed this yet

 

Have you determined that the crank flange bolt patterns are the same?

its one of those thing where my car should have been on the road last week things i think i can find a fly wheel bellhouseing clutch and presserplate for problem 40 or 50 bucks

 

I should have read your post before I posted mine.

I was thinking you could take a 302 flywheel and have the balance removed to match the 250 flexplate at a machine shop?

What do you think?

y take a 302 when a 300 in line 6 has a zero balance iv every thing to put it together ps wait ill give info later

 

so i pre mocked every thing together any yes a 300 inline 6 flywheel will bolt to a 250 as everyone know a 250 calls for a 157 tooth flywheel that is 11 and 3/4 in wide and a 300 flywheel is a almost 14 in wide so i trade the smaller bellhousing i had to a big bellhousing that will fit the flywheel the bellhousing is off of a 84 f150 4 speed bulldog and the flywheel is off a 94 f150 300 inline 6 i went to a nuther junk yard and found out that a 300 flywheel casing number it the same on all 300 that will start will c8 which if decoded the say 68 model but i dont think that a i would find 2 different trucks with a 68 model flywheel on them but any who this set up will bolt to the 250 iv done bolted every thing together iv got to put a new ring gear on the flywheel iv got and time to put the 250 in my car bananamanbananamanbananamanbananamanbananaman:bananaman

 

Good to know, does the 250 starter work, and is the 300 clutch a 11"? Got me thinking about putting my 4 speed in behind a 250

 

its got the bolt hole for a 11" clutch but i could only get a 10" presser plate and clutch from the junk yard <--- i no used clutch but i dont really got a nuther 100 to shell out for a new clutch whick is cheaper than the 250 clutch i didnt bolt the starter on yet because iv got to put a new ring gear on the fly wheel but yes the bolt hole line up o and i forgot to add that the dust sheld i got is off a 3.8 which = bellhousing might work idk but the one iv got uses the fork but has a spot to bolt on a slave cylinder

o and both flywheels i looked at are out of 90's model truck so i think they have used the same flywheel for 30 some odd years with no change but im not sure

if this works ill make a tech tread

 

here a pics with the flywheel on the 250

 

i got the new ring gear put on working on getting the tranny lined up and bolted on which is a pain but after i get everything put together ill post some pic then ill test the starter :bananaman

 

note the bell housing bolt from a auto tranny will not work ask me how i no you will need 4 bolts a half inch longer the 2 on the top are the same as for the starter i no there is a differents between auto and manual starter the nose on a auto in longer than the nose on a manual starter
