Twister 85 B2 Build

[Twister]

Well i measured the adapter, from the mating surface to the top, it measures 1 1/2 inchs, the trans dapt one measures 1 3/8 inch. The perma-cool ones looks to be the same as the trans dapt one.

Will this work for putting the shifter in the right location on my 94 m5od-r2?

I think so but you will probably need more than just the plate, like at least the shifter too.

I didnt even think about that when i found that

In an effort to try and save some money, will i be able to run the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate from the mustang. The friend i bought the engine from ran a t-5 behind the the engine.

If not, do i want to buy clutch parts for the year truck the transmission came out of, or am i going to want to buy something more in the time period my engine came from. I thought i read to buy for the year of the transmission but i cant find that thread anymore.

Twister- Up to 85 they had a 30oz (not 100% sure on the actual weight but it is lighter than the 50oz) weighted flywheel or pressure plate. 85 and later it was a 50oz weighted flywheel/pressure plate. Then some manual tran's took a diff tooth count flywheel. A t-18, NP435, ZF-5 took a 164 tooth while a M5OD used a smaller one with 154 tooth (I beleive it was 154 I'm not 100% on the count but it is 150 somethin).

When I went to autozones website, I looked up the flywheel for the years 84-91 on the f150s and they all used the same flywheel, that is, for the 5.0. I'm not sure though when they went to the M5OD-2, but then again those were behind the 4.2 engines too.

So, would running a 50oz flywheel on an engine from before 85 hurt anything?

Got some manifolds from 85_ranger4x4 (sorry about being short and not very talkative, im am bad at buying things from people lol )

Also got the engine out of my friends garage and got it on an engine stand

It should take a 50oz flywheel. You'll know when you start it up if it isn't the right one lol it will vibrate like hell.

Twister- Up to 81 they had a 28oz (not 100% sure on the actual weight but it is lighter than the 50oz) weighted flywheel or pressure plate. 81 and later it was a 50oz weighted flywheel/pressure plate. Then some manual tran's took a diff tooth count flywheel. A t-18, NP435, ZF-5 took a 164 tooth while a M5OD used a smaller one with 157 tooth (I beleive it was 154 I'm not 100% on the count but it is 150 somethin).

Fixed it for you.

They changed the balance when they went to the one piece rear seal in '81. I don't know what the M5OD used for a ring gear but the options are 164 or 157.

Don't worry about it, it was hot out anyway.

So since my engine is from 1980, and the tranny is from 1995 do I want a 28oz or a 50oz? I don't want to buy the wrong one, get it all swapped in and then it be the wrong one.

Well, the m5od-r2 takes a 164 tooth flywheel. Since my engine is from 1980, i would want to use a 28 oz flywheel. Correct? I just need to make sure the harmonic balancer is a 28 oz one as well. How can i tell?

I think my friend might have put a different accessory drive on, but i don't know if he changed the harm balancer. I wish i could contact him

I found this one on summit

If its a 1980 then go to the parts store and tell them you need a harm bal and a flywheel for a 1980 F-150 that had a 5 Spd. Make sure it is the 164 tooth and you'll be set! Then get the clutch too or do you already have that? It should be a 11" clutch.
