My junkyard motor arrived, but now I'm in need of a flywheel. My old one is a 6 bolt. The new motor is an 8 bolt. And it came off of a car with an automatic, so it didn't come with a usable flywheel.
Whaddya got?

Your old engine is a Romeo and the new one is a Windsor. The Windsor engines have 8 flywheel bolts and pressed on cam gears where the Romeo engines have six flywheel bolts and bolt on cam gears. My current engine is a Windsor with Romeo heads.

If your junkyard motor didn't come with Mustang GT cams I'd be looking at swapping cams over assuming they're compatible. If not, I'd do a top swap if you didn't trash a head on the old motor.
I'll have to look into that. But in any case, I am probably going to just run this as is to get some experience in the car (and maybe run two events in a row without breaking it). And then I'll see about rebuilding the old motor into something decent. I have two sets of Romeo heads, but out of the 4 camshafts, 3 are trashed. So there's no quick fix.Quote:
