Methods of balancing 428 flywheel
By BillP - 05/08/2001 7:23:14 PM; IP 206.58.190.121
I'm looking at buying a Fairlane with a supposed 428 in it. The block code and stroke match a 428, but when I took off the inspection plate I didn't see any external weights on the flywheel. What I did find was many small drilled holes of varying size, some all the way through the flywheel, some not. These small holes ringed the entire flywheel. My question, was this a method Ford ever used to balance 428 flywheels, or possibly a method machine shops use to balance the flywheel when converting a smaller FE into a 428? Thanks for all information from you FExperts.
