tHAT PLATE WORKS CALL hp mACHINE THEY HAVE THEM 704 474 0109 It'd be great if they had a site, or if someone had pictures. I'm not near a phone during business hours all that often. Any other ideas?

tHAT PLATE WORKS CALL hp mACHINE THEY HAVE THEM 704 474 0109 Finally got to it. He said he has them, they're definitely cheap enough. One issue: He says "They'll work" on a Magnum 360. When i mentioned the slight balance/bobweight differences he said 'Its close enough". Says "people run it all the time". Hmmm... That sketches me out a bit. I want it to be smooth. I've HAD it... and i do mean DONE with vibrating engines. Is the difference gonna be enough to feel, on a MAGNUM 360? He also said it fits nicely into the contour ov a 10.5" flywheel. I wonder if it will fit the same way into a FW122 McLeod lightweight flywheel...??? I'm kinda getting used to the idea ov a 400+HP Magnum in my junk...

Why worry and take a chance on using a "unknown hope it will work adapter part" when your machine shop can drill the new flywheel to make the motor perfectly balanced

440 source has a Billet Steel Flywheel that's convertible for different engines(uses McLeod weights). Not a bad price either.

Cab, i'm using the McLeod 18lb steel flywheel. Its SFI, which makes me feel a bit better about not running a scattershield, and its steel, which i like. In the balance game there are certain basic parameters, we all want to do things our way but it dont always work that way.
If your gonna mix and match parts, stock or aftermarket there are costs and from time to time one part is committed to a build or like builds.
1. Your not. 2. Your not. 3 You want.
At the end of the day, your current thought pattern has netted you nothing despite all the good options listed to you, so maybe you need to back up to matched stock parts for now and save the good parts for the real build, or wing it with a close balance job.
Or possibly just move to your internal balance build and in the end be happy and possibly money ahead. MY original plan was to use a 5.2 Magnum, which would easily work with this wheel, but everyone has convinced me to go 5.9... and like i said, i've kinda gotten used to the idea ov an extra 20-30HP. EVENTUALLY... i will build a serious, internally balanced Magnum, so i dont wanna mess up this flywheel for that. Just trying to find a way to use it, as is, for this interim build. If i absolutely HAVE TO, i'll stick with the 5.2 idea. I haven't bought the engine yet. I've got killer deals lined up on either... so i'm committed to nothing. "Wing it with a close balance job" might be the plan. Though... i wonder... could we not do a little math and figure out how to maybe modify that little plate for a slightly lighter bobweight? Not perfect, obviously, but maybe a bit better than "wing it with close" (which was kinda what the guy at HP Machine said)?

I have used on 440 cast cranks, 360's etc it WORKS just fine!!!! for around $40 to boot-OR go ahead and spend a zillion bucks your choice--I would not send you there to get an item that would screw you up--

Cheapo trick from chevy racers back in the day... Sandwich the 5.9 Mag flexplate behind the neutral balance flywheel. Voila! Done
Slightly more expensive: Get the 360 add-on weight and drill it to reduce the amount of imbalance. I believe with the MP drawings you can figure out what angle and how much to remove.
