Hi, I have just completed my XW GS after 3 year rebuild, the engine is from a 1990 F series. I have rebuilt heads were rebuilt and I am running a Holley 650 square bore. Also HEI distributer. my problem is it idles smooth at 650rpm, as soon as i accelarate engine shakes and vibrates. Once I am at around 1500 it runs smooth again.
I have tried all adjustments on carby, timing and advance are working, tonight I sprayed intake wioth engine start to detect leak no change. Can anyone suggest a cause?? |

Which harmonic balancer have you got on it?
Is a 5.0 or 5.8? A 1990 F series 5.0 will require a 50oz balancer not a 28oz like early model stuff. |

I am not sure of the origin of the flywheel, It came with engine and houses the twinplate clutch, I did not get the flywheel balanced!

flywheel.JPGCan you help me identify the flywheel, the flywheel does not have the billiot typical of 23 and 50 oz wheels. it only has a elongated broaching or groove cutout, I will try to post photo when I work out how.
