The balancer that is on some of these is thick with a weight on them. is this the same one that was on the 318 motors? I am asking for a friend who is putting one together from left over parts just to throw in a beater.
It's always a good thing to ask! Sorry, but no. The 318 crank (cast for almost all of the LA318's) is balanced for around 2140 grams of bobweight + or -, and all the 340 cranks are balanced for approx 2310 grams of bobweight. The 318 crank will fit up just fine, but the crank itself will have to be rebalanced for the much heavier stock pistons of the 340.I know this may not be a good thing to ask but can you use a 318 crank and balanecer in a 349? With that be mentioned I am curious for me..
Not that I have one to do but just wondering.
