I have a 1994 Mustang engine I am putting in a 1979 CJ5 Jeep. I used the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel from the Mustang. I have a late model Ford T18, bolted to a bell housing (not sure the year on it) I got from a junk yard. Everything is going well until I tried to get a starter that will mate to the flywheel. The flywheel from the mustang is too small and the starter will not engage. I was told I could purchase the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel from a 1994 F150 (for a 5.0 of course) and it would solve my problem. My concern in doing this is the balance of the flywheel. I know the OD of the truck flywheel compared to the mustang flywheel is different, but what about the balance? Will the truck flywheel work without tearing up the motor? I would appreciate any advice you have.
Thanks
