Hi there ,
I'm doing a engine swap , so I'm looking to pair a 93 360 magnum with a A999 trans on my 88 dodge ram b250.
I got this early magnum who came with is flexplate attached to it and I notice there no weight welded to it but only few holes , therefore I can't be 100% sure that is the original stock flexplate of this engine.
I heard a lot about the importance of the balance of the 360's and seen many 360 mag swap with the weighted flexplate .
And I'm a bit confuse when I'm looking to a part shop because you can find on the market both of the flexplate, some with weight and some without .
So I'm wondering if someone could confirm if the flexplate is correct or isn't. Is the 360 mag did evolved at some point that they change the flex plate and harmonic balancer ?
thanks for your answers

 

Use the Neutral convertor...... And use it with that flex plate...

 

Well, thanks for your help but I finally sort out the answer . I put it there in case someone is in the same situation.
it appears that the magnum before 96 were fit with a neutral flexplate like I have because they were balance with counterweight on the torque converter.
after 96 model come with a balanced flexplate like the one on video .
so if you're looking to fit a early magnum you will need the weighted flexplate that you can find on the later models and use a neutral balance torque converter.
in my case the stock torque converter of the A999 will work.
