hello all,
I have lurked here for awhile now learned a lot from reading and searching but now I am not clear on something and need your help. I have a 70 Dodge Dart Custom 4 Dr. that came with a 318/904, I am now building a 1972 360 for it. The 360 I bought did not have anything bolted to the crank when I got it. I read that to mate the 360 to my 904 I need a flexplate so I Bought a B&M 10239 flexplate. For some reason I thought the flexplate was a two piece part with the gear for the starter (i miss read the information on Summit's site it said 2 piece rear main seal but had a picture of the flexplate & gear so I thought those where the two pieces.) anyway since this confused me I started reading again got more confused lol. This what i need to know. 1) Do I need this B&M flexplate? if no what do I need 2) I assume i need a 360 torque converter to put in my 904, for balance right? 3) Does the 360 torque converter have the starter gear on it like the one my 318 used. 4) Is there anything else I need to go between the crank and torque converter for this swap? The 360 I am building is mild street car .30 over, flat top pistons, XE268H cam, 600cfm Thunder AVS carb, rpm gap manifold, stock heads. 2000 or so stall converter when i figure this out. Thanks for all your help this is the first time i am attempting a swap like this.
