Is This Common For a Custom-Built Torque Converter???

That looks like enough weight for a externally balanced 360 to me. I don't know what to tell you but I myself would not use it.

That was exactly what I thought, also.

as far as the weights go, it is what it is, if the manufacturer said its meant to be like that who is to argue? flex plates all B&M or ?? I had a B&M that wouldn't bolt up once, I very carefully filed each the mounting holes until it went

2 TCI sfi-rated flex plates and one PRW sfi-rated. And like I said before, they all bolt right up t 2 other known good converters. The guy told me some converters get none and some need a lot of weight. I find that kind of odd and inconsistent. My guess is that if the guy was building one for his own car it would be built so that it didn't require a 1/4 lb of weights one one side of it to make it balance.... just sayin'
I'll try my luck elsewhere. I have way too much time and money into this project now to start shrugging things off as good enough or close but no cigar.
