![]() Pre 1980 motors had a 28.2 ounce flex plate and harmonic balancer to match.
Post 1980 have 50 ounce flex plate. When you look at a 50 ouncer plate,the weight is about 3/4 around the plate. The 50 harmonic balancer weight covers a litle more than half,around the balancer. Rule of thumb, it looks like the 50 oncer has twice the mass as a 28.2 ouncer. Not putting on the right balance will kill your rear main bearings or worse, if your lucky. Alot of people swap in a AOD but bring the heavy plate too. Thats fine if you rebalance the plate to 28.2 ounces. That is if you have a older motor. |
