If you change a 318 to a 360 but keep the 318 trans do you have to add weights to the converter to change the balance of the converter? I thought it just bolted up and go, but sounds like its off balance or maybe flywheel is cracked. thanks!!

answer is symply like counterweights with cast cranks, and non counterweight with forged cranks... no matter engine.

Not quite true. 318 cast or forged are internal balance with no additional weights.

No you don't I'm a converter builder and saved lots of guys by doing it in the vehicle. All you have to do is figure out where the weight goes and weld it on IN the car.
Id the converter has a drain plug it is real easy to figure out
It isn't that bad to do when the converter is in the car. Simple if the converter has a drain plug.
