Autos will also need the torque converter as well as the starter. Watch the balance as well. 318's were internally balanced and the 360's were external. Don't mix and match components.Cut one off and old auto trans, or find a stick bell to use.
You're going to need a starter.
The starter ring gear teeth are on the flywheel and on the torque converter. A converter would be a mess on a running engine!
I was going to say, there are plenty of vids on youtube of guys running 360s with just the flex plate.
How did they get the engine started? There are no teeth on the flex plate!
just the flex plate? Highly highly HIGHLY doubt that. Not to mention, the 360 is externally balanced...
Maybe, but you should not try confusing the guy. That flexplate is for internally balanced, high horsepower applications.Point is the same.
Not all converters have a ring gear on em.
How do you put a ring gear on an 8" converter?
its a Hughes neutral balanced flexplate, designed for use for stroker kits that are internally balanced
Quit trying to be right. Don't confuse the OP any more than he already is.Point is the same.
Not all converters have a ring gear on em.
How do you put a ring gear on an 8" converter?
You want to buy one just to start it on a engine stand? Forget the Non Mopar stand and put the damn thing in and make it run. Get some help. You may need it. Somebody that knows Mopars.
so you just threw a random picture up to try to sound right or smart but in reality, you didn't know what you had. That's how people get the wrong advice and waste time, money and possible break stuff.
Just a point. No-one said that "NO" flex plates have teeth or that "ALL'' torque converters have teeth. We are talking stock stuff here.
and not all 360s are Mopars... see I can do that too..
Engine run stands have their place. but 90% of the time, they're a waste of time and money. They're more for people who's cars aren't going to be ready anytime soon and the engine needs to be ran in the meantime for whatever reason.
