      externally. You can get bert/brinn flywheels for them.

        They are NOT the same external balance as a 400. The one piece cranks flange uses a smaller bolt circle.

          Also they internally balanced on the front and external on the flywheel end. Uses the same flywheel as a 602 or 604.

              You can have your machine shop drill the pump rod and mounting holes in the block. You can also use a rear main seal adapter to put a 2 piece seal crank in it.
              It'll be fine

                I didnt say it was the same as a 400. I said that you can get a flywheel from bert/brinn to work. Its the same as the 604/602 flywheel i believe, i never got one just used stock bell, stock location starter. When i had mine balanced i used the stock crank and the machinist asked me to bring the flywheel with me. Of course the first time i started it the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) weight flew off.

                  Never meant you did, Just wanted to make sure that people know. We started running a crate in 2005 and I have seen a BUNCH of people make mistakes.

                      thanks again for taking time to reply guys , i need an OEM set, and i do head work so i'd like to have a bare set, I know someone who told me they had a set that was already checked out for $ 100 , think i may go get those instead of wasting time pulling engines.

                        not for a Ford drag racer who would have only used stock castings to prop the shop door open, LOL

                          Nobody uses the 062 castings thats why you have to be careful getting advice on this or any forum, someone above recomended them over the good ones, thats hillarious.
                          I will agree on the Hecho en mexico statment, but the only real differance between the production non mehico 906-062's was the seats, with most of the 062's having the Induction hardened seats. With a valve job and throat cut they are basically the same.

                            CC the intake runner on the mexican head and compared to the non mexican castings.
