po51 21 Report post Posted February 23, 2016 I know I'm getting to be a pain, but another issue has come up should there be a thin metal plate between the rear of my 351w and my FMX transmission? Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazyhorse 21 Report post Posted February 23, 2016 yes, and it is specific to flywheel tooth count, and manual vs auto. (i learned this the hard way...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SA69mach 39 Report post Posted February 24, 2016 West Coast Cougar has one for the 351W and FMX. I am sure other places will too. The link shows a photo for reference link:http://www2.cougarpartscatalog.com/69fmxplate.html cheap one on ebay too http://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-1973-Ford-Engine-Block-Spacer-Plate-289-302-351W-351C-Bellhousing-Plate-/322016307371?hash=item4af9aae8ab:g:blkAAOSwLnlWmXOi&vxp=mtr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rsmach1 71 Report post Posted February 24, 2016 West Coast Classic Cougar is a great place to deal with. I recently was looking for an oddball part not listed on their site, Darrell found it within a couple hrs, and a portion of the profits go to charity.
