Josetein,

Ford changed from a 28 ounce imbalance correction to a 50 ounce
imbalance correction on both the flywheel and the pulley.

You are correct, the bolt hole change is to prevent mis-match. The
starter and starter ring gear also changed.

If you are using a later 50 oz motor, and still need (as you will) the
Tiger fan blade set-back (and water pump and generator) you will need a
pulley with 4 bolts that is the same set-back as the 3 bolt TIGER one
(unique). There are Ford 4 bolt pulleys available with double shives,
and one lines up. The other may have to be cut off on a lathe.

Replacement dampers are available in 28 oz and 4 bolt from performance
after market sources, but they are not cheap. 

Part of the game of engine switching
