318 flex plate have same crank bolt pattern as 360?

They shouldn't have added ANYTHING to the 318 converter.

The ENTIRE reason to buy the B&M flexplate is so you can put any neutral balance converter behind a 360. Makes life so much easier, no weights, no confusion, unless you take advice from people that don't know.

correct....

either the weight on the converter or the b&m flexplate...but not both...and usually simpler to use the b&m flexplate..
