Welcome!

The 318 is internally balanced while the 360 is externally balanced. As long as the flex place and TQ are balanced, you should be ok.

Welcome
do not knock off the weight ...you nd a tork converter for a 360. It.will have a.larger weight to balance the 360.
other than that its a straight swap
did you happen to take the lock up and overdrive wire pigtail
how will u activate them
