Thanks, I wasn't sure what it (flexplate) was called, I was in a bit of hurry this morning. Until I retire, work comes before fun. I was 99% sure there was nothing a manual transmission used similar to an automatic. Just before I fell asleep last night I did a quick google and marketplace search for a "flywheel " (my bad) for a 360. Which sent me down the wrong path right from the get go. Apparently there are different flywheels for trucks. But regardless the flywheel part is cleared up. :thumbsup:
I've built a few motors before but always had the complete motor from balancer to flexplate.
Unfortunately this is the first time I've ever built a motor with different years of collected parts.
1990 block - 1975 Heads 1980 - Intake Also I had no Flexplate or TC. So things definitely get more complicated when ya start mixing stuff up. Lessons learned along the way. Thankfully lots of help from good folks at FABO!
I do know that I have a lockup TC that's been lying around for a few years. I won't get into the Ramcharger more than questions on the engine and tranny, as engines and transmissions are pretty universal. The transmission I'm putting the 360 infront of was hooked up to a 318 (is a 727) so I definitely need to change the flexplate and TC. I will check to verify the year of the transmission when I get home as well as the TC that was used for the 318. I suppose if it's a lock up that was on the 727 for the 318 then I can use my 360 lockup TC. Otherwise I guess I'll be looking for a non lockup TC and a proper 360 flex plate.
Once again thanks for all the great help.
