Re: proper flywheel
That is correct, I think you can have your 50 ounce flywheel cut to make it 28ounces for about 50-100$ by a machinist, ford Motorsport sells a 157tooth 10.5"clutch 28ounce flywheel for around 250$, Are you running v belt or serpentine belt?
I have a question for you, is your dipstick in the block on the driver side, or is it in the timing cover, I ask this because I am building a 77 302 for my 87GT that has the dipstick in the timing cover, I had to drill a hole in the alternator bracket to accomidate the dipstick, but on a v belt motor you don't have to , i wanted to keep serpentine because I wanted it to be easy and look nice and neat.
Did you have clearance problems with the motor swap? I did a 351 swap in my 88lx and had to run a cowl hood to clear the intake. I know the 93 convertible motor mounts and some of the aftermarket mounts drop the motor aprox. 3/4", For drag racing I'd rather have the center of gravity higher for more weight transfer.
