I am replacing a mid 70's 360 with a mid 80's motor. I noticed that the 70's motor has a big counter weight on the crank balancer that is missing on the mid 80's motor. I need schooling on this. The transmission I will use will come off the mid 70's motor. Can I assume there will be more external balance weights on the converter? Will I need a non weighted converter for the newer application? Thanks



All 360s are externally balanced...all need weight on the damper/balancer and all need weight on either the converter or the flexplate...

weighted converters from 360s are interchangeable.. as is the dampers.
