>>I have heard mixed information regarding the balancing of the 318 vs.
the
360.
A mechanic at my Dodge dealership said that the 360's were internally
balanced since '96.
Others have said not. As for the 2000 who knows.
Anybody know for sure?<<

They have been externally balanced since day one. They are still
externally balanced to this day

As for the balancing, there is a special flexplate you use to balance the
360 to work on your nuetrally balanced 318 torque converter. When you
bolt the engine up, you use the 318 flexplate. You can't use the special
flexplate for installation, only for the balancing.

You're wiring should work just fine =) Just get a 98' 5.9L Computer. You
may run into a problem seeing as how the 98' comps require a flash with
the VIN and mileage. You may have to make the computer think it's still
in that Ram it came out of.
