Your only option is to modify a neutral flywheel or verify the imbalance on a 360 flywheel and adjust if necessary.

There used to be a company that made a thin counterweight plate that you sandwiched between the crank and the flywheel but I don't think it's in production anymore.

but trucks used external balance flywheels and the LA360/383/400/ cast crank 440 in trucks/MH had a 435 granny 4 speed so that is the factory flywheel that's needed to use the cast crank 440 in a car with 833 4 speed.

not sure what I am missing but the weighted 727 auto TC behind my cast crank 440 is fine.

I had a couple d200 trucks with a 400/435/d60 combo



360 flywheels are unique to 360's only.


Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but checking O'Reilly's, Rock Auto, Ebay, and Carparts.com I'm not finding a stock external balance flywheel listed for the trucks with manual trans.

Everything I've found is internal or neutral balance. I'm thinking of getting one of those and just try drilling the 3 holes per the diagram provided in the other posts.
