All heavy duty overdrives installed since inception up to and including 1995 will be a RH. 1996 was the first year for RE.
Light duty overdrives went to RE in 93-1/2 in the Grand Cherokee (A500).
All 360 were externally balanced while I believe all 318 were internal.

Chrysler continued to manufacture 3 speed automatics for a number of years after the introduction of the overdrive transmissions. I saw a mid to late 90's basic work van once that had a three speed automatic in it. The under hood sticker confirmed it was originally built that way. So, make sure the donor vehicle actually has the overdrive transmission in it.
I've never attempted this swap, but am considering it to improve highway cruising. How well does the transmission operate with the aftermarket overdrive / lock-up converter kits? Years ago, I saw a kit that used pressure switches. Does this force the shift into overdrive at a specific speed, regardless of load. If so, wouldn't this be a problem driving in mountainous terrain? Thanks for the input, I think I've sourced a trans here pretty close to me! This kit is what I am looking at, it uses a vacuum input to interrupt the OD and converter lockup power source under higher load. https://transmissioncenter.net/shop...ere-for-727-to-46rh-swap-wiring-diagram/

Sorry I missed this post - forgot I posted esrlier.
I really don’t remember the switch, I was handling FWD trans stuff from 95 onward - sorry can’t help.
But - a quick search says all magnum had weighted flexplates and neutral converters and went in to production in 1993.

Never seen a 360 magnum with a weighted flexplate . Was always on converter in my experience. IIRC, the 360 magnum has a different balance than the older 360. Robert
