What do you need to drill your flywheel for?

Balance I was told

For a cast crank?
You drill wherever necessary as long as it's not on the friction surface.

Yes I have a 360 la with a 727 transmission I purchased a 4 speed out of a scamp, the gentleman said I had to drill my flywheel
Because 360's are externally balanced you should probably have a 360 flywheel. They may look like this.
As stated, get the correct flywheel for you application. i.e. internally or externally balanced. Trying to drill for externally balanced engine will be a disaster.

So I have 360 which is external balance can help me which flywheel I should purchase. Very new too this just learning. Thanks
We need more information, clutch disc size, is bell housing correct for the flywheel & transmission? There are a lot of variables that can figure into the swap over.

Also make sure your crank is drilled to accept the input shaft
Don't take this the wrong way but switching a car over from a auto to a stick is not for the feint of heart. Not a easy task.
TMM, I was waiting for that comment. LOL You are 100% correct, not for the feint of heart.
Mopar Performance made templates to drill flywheels for whichever one you needed to drill, but GOOD LUCK finding that. Call Brewer's Performance. Maybe they can help you.

If it’s not drilled to accept input shaft you can use a bearing from a Dakota and drive into the flange but the downside is you’ll have to cut a bit off your input shaft.I did it with no problems

I understand, Iam in no rush and we have too learn. Asking questions is the first step in learning
Passenger car would use 10.5" flywheel. We have new flywheels for the 360 LA, or can balance your FW if it's currently neutral.
If you have questions contact me through the website.

ThAnks so much
I'm taking odds that they told you to drill your crankshaft.. not your flywheel...
Plymouth 65
I'll be in the shop
In order to properly balance any rotating component the balance amount and location should be determined on a calibrated balancer. If not, your guessing. 65"

I took my 408 rotating assembly and had all of that balanced internally. That whole external balance add a weight to the torque converter, special balancer, drilled flywheel bullshit, is just that. Bullshit ! I would do the same with a 360 rotating assembly since that makes **** a whole hell of a lot easier from a parts standpoint.
