Since you swapped out every other thing, I would think a motor swap would not be much more work at this point.



thats what im gonna do, im putting in a bad a$$ lil 340 to check, probably right after the holidays. 340 is for sale too.




your going to sell a 340 ci vibrator?

do you have a pulley on the balancer?




the 340 doesnt vibrate its the 360 that does,,

and i know its not the wrong flexplate cause its been in the car for 5 yrs

I can't recall which flex plate you had and I don't feel like reading 6 pages to find out if it was a weighted unit but I assume you do know that generally a 340 is internal balance and 360's are external balance? As such, they require specific harmonic balancers and converters/flex plates. If you install a converter that is neutral balanced on a 360 that requires an externaly balanced converter and damper, it will shake like he!! Same thing the other way.

Wow, Glad to see you got the issue resolved. Only could wish it would have been easier. Now my car, it still vibrates, let me know when you wanna help track that one down.

This is getting interesting.

I'd sure like to know what could cause a vibration like that "internally"....woulda been the last place I'd have looked.
Whad'ya think?......what could "Loose" or "Gain" weight to unbalance the engine?
It's gotta be something stupid like a blown intake gasket/head gasket.

well i go to pull the cam out and it doesnt wanna move, i can barely spin it at all, it took some elbow grease to get it out A LOT OF IT, the middle cam bearing is toast , but the cam itself seems fine, it's not going back in, oil was all clean also cut the filter apart and was all clean

That's all you found a spun cam bearing????

Does this motor have a gear drive on it?

,, visually thats all i saw wrong, just the cam bearing, the center one walked and covered the oil hole, no gear drive. gonna have the crank spun and the rods checked this week,, i have another 360 i just picked up friday im gonna use.
