5.0 Flywheel Question

[ascCapri]

I recently purchased a flywheel from my wanted ad, and I can't seem to get the clutch lined up. No matter what orientation I spin the clutch only 3 holes would line up. Now, I was told that this is a 10.5 in flywheel out of an 89. I understand that the bolt pattern is drilled 10.5 inches instead of the 10 that came in my 86....I marked the threaded holes with black marker, see pic. The threaded holes are far too close together to match the clutch for my Tremec......can I run this with just 3 bolts installed? I wouldn't think so.

I don't think it's from a 5.0

The guy showed me the motor it came out of.....was from an 89, but was stuffed in a 85. It did have a goofy serpentine system and wierd alternator/ps bracket like I had never seen.

Do not use just 3 bolts! It looks big in the pic...can you measure the clutch wear marks? It should be 10.5"

Where are the dowel pins? I wouldn't use that thing if I were you.

It turned out to be a 10" and the guy was really cool about taking it back. I ended up getting another one off the site. Thanks for everyone's help.
