we are installing the t18a from my 82 j20 into an 85 xj cherokee equipped with an 81 258 six cyl.
my question is should we use the flywheel that came from the 360,and matches the t18,or should the flywheel match the engine? the 360 pressure plate does bolt to the 258 flywheel. looking at the back of the flywheels,it certainly looks like the 360 flywheel is maybe balanced with the engine-its definately different than the 258.
our initial thoughts are that the 360 and 258 are balanced differently, and that the flywheel should match the engine. any thoughts?
