A manual 360 front balancer might work for you cause my 360 has a regular flywheel and a different front damper from my auto 360 that I swapped over when I put it in my manual truck

[Redneckmoparman]

Either that or get a 318 or 340 with internal balance or take your 360 apart and get it balanced and never deal with it again

Engine is back out so I can finish welding everything

Does anybody know what's been done with radiators or water pumps for this conversion?

Have you seen the YouTube video?

It looks pretty BA! Doesn't really show me the radiator tho. I'm going to try using the one from my d100 tomorrow! I gave in and got hood pins... I really wanted to keep the outside stock/beater looking :p

I paused it and took a screenshot I'll post asap I'm on my moms iPad now I only have phone and computers lol but it looks like he used a different rad set forward of where the stock one is Chevy style with side tanks not top and bottom and has the stock water pump and pulley with electric fan mounted in front of the rad

I got a radiator that fits and I got it mounted in! Does it look like its got a 360 settin in it?

Looks really good! and definately a sleeper!!!! to maxamize it i would put in some electric cutouts just past the headers for racing and a super quiet system the rest of the time or maybe a cutout just past a pair of glasspacks and then quiet through a second set of mufflers idk just ideas so you can go prey on some vettes lol

[moparman19991]

98% of the wiring is done! It cranks but I need to hook up an ignition relay and finish hooking everything else up

[moparman19991]

Anybody know what size the holes are for the egr/pollution ports? I'm going to be using different manifolds or headers and I'll need to plug the holes. I keep forgetting to measure them while I'm at work.

I have done this conversion numerous times . I just notch out the oil pan . Works great. Also have put in a 2" pipe , the problem with that is you have to drop and pull the drag link out to pull motor. Some 5.9 oil pans have the drain plug in the front towards the front of the motor . Thats the pan to notch!
