Using the 260 flywheel would be a bad thing to do. The old 260/289 engines
used a 28 oz flywheel whereas the roller engines (newer) use a 50 oz
flywheel, they are NOT interchangeable. Also the timing marks on the newer
302s dampeners are on the passenger side whereas the older timing marks are
on the driver's side. Also there are different flywheels, one having 152
teeth the other 164, you can use either, but you have to make sure you have
the proper bell housing (and steel plate in-between) for the flywheel you
are using. Otherwise your starter will not mesh properly with the flywheel.

Subject: [Tigers] More 302 questions
Hi Guys,
I'm getting closer to finishing my 302 build-up. I really appreciate your
previous wisdom and help.
I have the 1985 carb & roller 302.
1) I need to use the STOCK crank damper due to balance issues, correct?
What about timing marks?
2) Flywheel. I do not have the 1985 flywheel. I do have the stock 260
flywheel and clutch mechanisms. Can this stuff be re-used? If not, any
recommendations?
I DO have the proper bell housing for my top loader and this crankcase
(thanks to a luck flea market find)
