....Another quick question..... Does anyone know the relationship between the flywheel balancing holes, and the balancer weight ? When the balancer weight is facing down, the holes in the flywheel are almost straight down as well. I'm confused, because why would you add offset weight to the...

Heres what I used.... hope it comes thru OK.

Off center, just as the drawing shows.......

Any idea WHAT detroit was thinking of when they started this STUPID idea in the first place ???? Engineer #1 "Hey I got an idea ! Lets take a balanced flywheel, and drill a bunch of holes in it. Then lets make the crankshaft out-of-balance to match the flywheel" Engineer #2 "Why don't...

Hey all- Continuing the saga of fitting a 360 into my original poly 318 dumptruck....... I got a 318 flywheel, and modified it per the drawings someone emailed me...... but it was a 130 tooth, and my bell is for a 143 tooth......so needless to say, the starter didn't mesh. Got another 318...

I went to the link listed to verify my 'new' 360, but the number is not there. It is a 1976 360 from a camper. The number is 4006830-360. Are there any other charts I can look it up in? Thanks Ryan

Well I got a 360 to shove into my truck. Im waiting for a bellhousing that I bought on ebay. Then all I need is the right flywheel.....and I should be ready to stick it in, and figgure out the mountings. The 360 is from a camper, and the odometer said 62,000 miles. The engine looks clean...

Yes, its a 1960 d600 dump truck....

'66 poly is not the same as mine..... besides, I already sourced a 360, and have also found the bellhousing..... Thanks though Ryan

Yes, its a manual 4spd, hydraulic clutch, 11"

No its not- I've already went down that road....... THis is a pre 1961 poly, which supposidly has the same pattern as the older 50's engines (I think the old hemis but not sure....) One thing is for sure, it is NOT the same as a SB mopar block.... I looked as a SB bell and the pattern is...

Well the truck had a 318 poly in it..... and it is broken beyond repair.... I wanted to adapt a 360, but they're tooooo pricey around here (western NY) though I don't see why..... There is a 413 near me, that needs some work, but I think it would be cool to make it fit! I have access to...

Whats the difference in the bell housing area/crankshaft flywheel plate between the small block and the big block mopars ? Im having a hard time finding a 360 reasonably priced thats close, but there is a 413 wedge motor close to me, as well as a couple 440's. I plan to make an adapter to...

<quote>The early Hemi, the Poly, and the LA all have the same bellhousing pattern.</quote> The pattern on my poly is different then the later polys and LA blocks. I verified this by looking at a SBD bell and it is not the same as mine. Bob Asay also told me that only post-62 poly's are the...

I'm in Dansville, about an hour south of Rochester.

340- do you have pictures of the bell housing ? I got mine out, and want to compare them..... I need one of the engine side and the tranny side. Thanks alot.

I plan to pull the bell housing and flywheel/clutch out of the truck later this afternoon. I want to look at the bolt pattern of the tranny. Hopefully I can find a bell that is closer to me (I'm in NY) so the shipping won't kill me !!! I'm trying to get this thing on the road cheep. I paid...

OK- I heard from Bob Asay that the pre 1962 (mine is a 1960) poly blocks have a different bell housing pattern.... so today I went to a friends house who is a MOPAR nut. He had a bell housing for a 318/340/360 and it indeed looks different then mine. Now my question is, would it be possible...

.....sorry not in my budget. I'd be looking for a used/decent running engine from a scrapyard, or the like. I just need to know if it will fit my bellhousing/flywheel or not. Thanks for the suggestion though. Ryan

Hi... I have a dodge truck (I know, I know... not an A-body.... <WINCE>) that has a poly 318 in it. Are these engines known to be weak near the top center water ports on the block at the head mating surface ? Mine is cracked on both sides of the block. This leads to the question about...
