newer 302 with 50oz balance flywheel, use stock clutch?

[mustangsean]

I have a 1970 bronco I am swapping the engine on. I have a Ford racing 302 that didn't come with a flywheel, so i bought one for a 1985 5.0 with 164 tooth and 50 oz balance, Sachs nfw1128, can i use the stock 1970 clutch and pressure plate with this flywheel?

Welcome
it depends on wether or not the flywheel has the same bolt pattern some do some dont. A 85 should have the same bolt pattern but you wont know for sure until you bolt it up.

'85 164 tooth would have to be a truck flywheel. Car flywheel would be 157 tooth.
So that should be the correct flywheel.

Thanks, I was worried mainly about the pressure plate styles. I think the newer run a diaphram type, and the one I have is just a three bar. I'm just gonna run it I guess and see what happens

I had to run a clutch from an 86 f150 with my new 50 oz flywheel. my stock 73 clutch didnt have the same bolt pattern. the flywheel I used was off a 96 f150.hope this helps
