I am very faniliar with big blocks, but I am looking for a 360 for my Dart project. Is there an easy way to identify a 360 from any other small block while it is still in the chassis?

Harmonic balancer is 'out of balance' it will be obvious if you had a 318 and 360 balancer together. Also each block is cast ( I think it is on the left side) with the cubic inch.

easiest clue is the balancer....a 318's is about 3/4" thick, a 360 is ~1 1/4" thick.
