Bought a new centerforce flywheel and clutch last year for the 318. If I were to put together a 360 could I use the same parts? I believe the 318 is an internal balance and the 360 external? Is it just a matter of using a correct balancer or are there other considerations? Paid a lot for the clutch and flywheel and only have about 2000 miles on them.

thanks

You will need a flywheel for a 360.Clutch will work with either flywheel.

It could be balanced to work for the 360 but there would be no going back to to a 318 again.

thanks for the info

The neutral balanced 318 flywheel can be modified for use on the 360.

To use the diagram you need to use trigonometry to find the exact location(s) to drill & the large drill bits are hard(er) (and $$) to come by. You could get the flexplate (iirc B&M 10239 which MAY be disconnected)) to use your 'wheel as is exp if you might go back to a neutral balance (318) eng. EDIT meant to say discontinued not disconnected

We had a machine shop balance a flywheel for a 360...cost around $100 for them to do it. At the time I couldn't find a good deal on a 360 flywheel so it was the most cost effective for us to do it that way. We got the measurements off abodiesonly, brought them to the machine shop, and the shop did a great job, no issues after installation.

They might have been the same as the one above, it's been a year so I can't remember...I can do a search and see if I can find it again.

Edit...yup, it's the same one.

the machine shop would have to do the math to locate em exactly and if we could get that it might be worth it to buy the large drill bit & do it on your drill press & would need a depth mike & some carefull measuring as a regular depth mike does not have a tapered tip to reach the end of your drilled recess. Doing several for friends might make it worth the effort. Last one I had a shop do 20 years (the math & the drilling) ago was $125 iirc. EDIT The more I think about it w Ma's notoriously poor balancing I think I'd want to take the wheel in w everything & have the shop get it all spot on

Then again I think my husband did do the math along with the chart...whatever it was it ended up working perfectly. Wish I could find the paperwork from the machine shop but it's gone.

I think this is the one and i don't need it.
its was resurfaced.

Thanks for all the info everyone

Dan, I will call when the time comes. I got a lot of help and parts from you when we did the 4 speed conversion and 8 3/4
