I have run into a little trouble in the build on my motor and I was hoping there were some people out there who hold the answers. Is the Australian Flexplate 164 tooth or 157 tooth and does it use the 50oz counterweight. I need to buy one for the motor I am building for my Fairlane as the long motor didn't come with it btw Ford want over $250 DEALER PRICE for one....
any help would be greatly appreciated.

I run a B&M (part number BM50238) on my Auto ED XR8. Cataloge list it as - Ford 1982-95 AOD 302, 351 with 164 tooth ring gear, 11.4 in. bolt circle, 50 in.. oz balance weight.
If you have "stroker crank" it MAY have 27 ounce ballance ???Depends on counterweights?? In crank?? Which is realy better...IMO..
I take it your getting it ballanced anyway??? CRAZZY if you don't for $180 it's not worth it!!!!!
Yeah - the whole show is getting ballanced. I have built plenty of tough motors (my 429 landau ran 10.34 @ 133mph) but this is my first play with windsors. I am already looking at Dart blocks but this one will have to do for a little while. The compression on this one is a little over 10.5/1 so when I go to the next stage (supercharger) I will put the TrickFlow/Arias 8.5/1 pistons in a Dart block.
