>If the magnum engines are balanced the same as the earlier engines then you
will have to replace the torque converter for the 318 with the one from a
360. 318s are internally balanced and 360s are externally balanced
ie: the 360 torque converter has a weight welded on it that the 318 torque
converter does not have.
