wanted 502 flywheel
 

stock 502 external balance flywheel
if you got anything please pm me on here
thanks

need something asap I want to bring my rotating assembly in to get balanced by next wed.
thanks

Do you by chance have a gen 4 flywheel,I may be willing to trade? I am about to build a dart block with 2 peice seal and can't reuse mine.

No sorry I have a 454 1 piece rear main flywheel

I need the 502 setup its a little different than the 454 one

454 flywheel will work fine if external balance. Especially if you are balancing rotating assembly anyway. Look in GM catalog, GM performance flywheel for 454 and 502 is the same.

I was told by a few local engine builder that the 502 and 454 used a different flywheel

does anyone know this from experience

I went from a CAST stock 454 crank to a FORGED stock 502
theres supposed to be a difference in the way the made the flywheels

they are both external balance but there is a difference the way they made the wheels between what came on the cast cranks and the forged cranks I think

both cranks are 1 piece rear main cranks

Sorry for cast crank I think it is different. I just bought one for a forged crank, and it was the same for a 502 and 454.

I'm not aware of them being any different from one another.
I also don't believe there is any difference in flywheels from a one piece seal crank vs. a two piece seal crank. They may have used different part numbers over the years, but it's not going to matter if you're having the whole assembly balanced... it'll all get corrected anyway.

The 454ho and zz502 both use the same forged steel srank.

One piece seal and two piece seal flywheels will not interchange. The added weight is in a different spot.

If the assembly is being balanced the 454 cast crank should work, it may cost you some heavy metal on the crank balance, and you will have to remember if you ever change the flywheel.

This is for a external balance only, for internal I think 1 and 2 piece seal flywheels interchange just fine.

The amount of mass may be slightly different, but it wouldn't be in a different spot. If the entire assembly is being balanced, it can be corrected. Either on the flywheel itself, or the crankshaft.

My short block just got finished today, I will pick it up tommorrow. I have a two piece flywheel and a new one piece flywheel there, so when I pick it up I will look. My engine builder is pretty darn sharp on BBC and he didnt make anything off selling me a new flywheel, and he said they did not interchange. I will look tomorrow and see why.

If it bolts to the back of the crank, it can be corrected to work. When making corrections on a flywheel, you're working at about a 7 inch radius... this has a much greater influence than corrections made at the crank counterweight. You could put a neutral flywheel off a 350 small block on there, and drill a series of holes opposite the location where the cast weight would be, and achieve the same thing. I've had to do it a few times in 24 years of running my Hines engine balancer. :cool-smiley-011:

just buy a new one and be done it has a brand new ring gear too http://www.jegs.com/i/GM+Performance...6987/10002/-1#

if he stated you need to change the flywheel then what about the harmonic ballancer? my machine guy said the only time you need to change the flywheel(454/502) is when you internally ballance a motor with 6.385 rods.. sounds fishy,unless your flywheel was all rusted up and he didnt want to use it

the back of the cranks on the 454 cast cranks are different from the 502 forged cranks

Im not sure if the 454 forged cranks are the same as the 502,

i think the weight on the flywheel between what came on the cast crank is different from what came on the forged crank

i have done several conversions,454 to 502/ 502 to 454 and have had no issues except going from mark to gen 5 & 6 stuff..


on the higher eng merc stuff their machined out of a hunk of metal (billit steel) and the more commin 454/502 is a cast iron flywheel..he may have wanted you to have a stronger flywheel for your allpication..
