So the flywheel on my cracked 5.0 will not bolt up to this 228 motor? I'm planning on robbing just about everything off of the cracked motor. I don't know if I can take heads and pistons but they should only have one season of use on them.
I bought a 1999 Chaparral Sunesta 232 with a known cracked 5.0, along with cracked manifolds.
