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.

157 tooth on my manual flywheel - no idea on counterweight although 50oz does ring a bell for some reason. WTB56 will beable to tell you for sure

Definatly 157 tooth, with 50 oz imbalance. Good luck

Well it would be the same for auto's since they both share the same starter motor
