[WANTED] 360 Externally Balanced Flywheel

[MichaelFinn124]

Having a shake in the car, took trans and converter out to check them. I want to start the engine and run it without trans to make sure the shake isn't in engine. I need an external balanced flywheel, It's for a 1976 360. I don't care if it's rusty or even cracked as long as the balance is right.

They are extremely rare. 70-74 only. As far as I know (may be wrong) E bodies only. Chances are you may have to go new. The other possibility is getting 318 340 flywheel re balanced for 360.

look into trucks.. they may have one.

 

[1500swinger]

Trucks are 11" and do not fit car bellhousing.

He needs a flexplate.

Looks like an auto car.

Depending on 360 model year, 1976 should use a B&M 10236 IIRC

He wants a flex plate so he can start the car without the torque converter or auto trans attached

Pays to read the whole thing. LOL Glanced and didn't grasp that sniglet!

If he has a weighted flexplate, stack the flexplate then a std flywheel on the engine to get it started. Check for interference between the two.

Thanks all, I figured it wouldn't be common but wanted to try. I certainly don't want to buy a new one just for this test. I was hoping someone had an old one laying around.

You can buy a weight to balance a neutral balanced flywheel. It bolts on the crank along with the flywheel. Kim

quicktime sold one RM-531

No longer produced from what I recall

I know member @Clelan got 1 from somewhere a few years ago.

This is what I use on my run stand. I have an internal balanced flywheel, but I add this plate when running an external balance motor. I only really mess with small block Mopars.
