Got me a 360 (year unknown....probably later 70's to early 80's) and intend to drop it into my pimpilicious '75 Matador Coupe (don't hate me cuz I be stylin')

The car has the original 304 along with a 727. My questions are concerning balance:

Is there a difference in the flexplates? Will I need to run the torque converter from the 304 or the 360? (they're both for 727's).

And finally, should I go with cubes or shaved ice for my Jack and Coke?

you will need the 360 plate converter does not matter

That's what I fingered as the plate has at least one weight on it.

When it comes to Mopar engines though, the weights are on the converter....they don't have normal flexplates (starter ring gear is on the converter).

Bottom line is that I don't want to make a rookie mistake and subscribe to "the only stupid question is the one unasked" train of thought.

One problem though, most of the wheels keep falling off my train...and the ones remaining are square!

Cubes are for longevity shaved is for quick bursts of cooling power.. Your needs your call..
