If he is that handy fabricating he can just get a 318 magnum flex pate and weld on the appropriate 360 LA weight in the same place as the 5.9 magnum weight.

It is really simple, buy the weight kit from mopar performance desighned to balance a 360 converter, just weld it to the plate instead. They use the same balance factor as the B&M plate. If you are concerned about 1 gram or something then weld it up and take it to a machine shop and have them balance them to match, should be able to add a tiny more to your weld or drill a tiny lightening hole.

I think he's considered most of the options - weight kits, cutting the outer ring off and welding it to the B+M, stacking the plates, crank triggers, etc. Pretty much all but the crank trigger would require getting the resulting flexplate rebalanced. If someone already makes an A500 - 360 flexplate, there isn't any reason to try to make one - thats why I posted for that style plate and not ways to make one.
Thanks for the replys.

Rather than try to weld the 360LA weights on the later flexplate in the same position they would be on the converter, you could place the weight out near the outer rim like the 360 Magnum. It would take some math; knowing the 360LA imbalance is 19.79 inch-ounces...extrapolate that into the inches the rim is from center.
