Im installing a 5.0 into my 1970 mustang. I know the 5.0 uses a 50oz balance and older windsors use 28oz. Im missing the 5.0 flywheel so my question is can I install a 28oz front damper and a 28oz flyweel and not have ballance problems? Also I know the 5.0 water pump turns in reverse. Can I install a standerd rotation water pump and not have any over heating problems?
THanks for your help in advance.

The 302 that use the 50oz balance are all the roller cam blocks. No you can not put a 28oz balancer and flywheel on a 302 roller cam block that needs a 50oz balance. Yes you can use a standard rotation water pump on the 50 oz balance roller cam blocks.
