Will the balancer off my 273 work on a 318???

if the 273 is a forged crank then yes. which i do beleive all 273 do have a forged crank.

Well, wait a minute..........not all 318's use forged cranks, in fact I'd bet many of 'em are cast............
have you ever seen a externally balanced torque converter on a 318? and ill bet there isn't many cast crank 318's if any. maybe in magnums?? but none in pre magnum engines |

ive never seen a cast crank in a 318, the only cast cranks that i know of in a small block is some 340's and all 360.

Thats what I keep seeing !! so I still don't know :eek::confused:

I've been reading up for my small block rebuild and I have seen in 2 books that 273 cranks through 1967 are forged, '68 and up 273s and 318s were cast, unless ordered in high output or special performance options.

i just read the 273 switched from forged to cast. in Chrysler tech articles. but i cannot find the 318 crank articles. i have about 6~8 318"s ranging from 1965~1985 and they all have forged cranks |
Well, that gives me hope that I might have a forged crank in my 68.I have a 273 at my disposal, but I think it's a 68 so that won't help from what I've seen.I'm in the process of tearing down my engine now, so I should know what I have in a couple of weeks when I pull the short block and have a looksie.
