o.k. guys.. from what i've read the 360 torque converter has a "weight" welded to it where as the 318 t/q doesn't.... so this converter in my 88 4x r/c looks to be a 360 one... anyone wanna verify or know a way to be certain?

Yeah what ED3? is it for a 360 or a 318? Do they really weight the 360?

the 360 is externally balanced, the 318 is internally...so thats why the 360 converter needs that weight. If you grind it off it will work just peachy behind a 318.

could also be 400 cast crank or 440 cast crank, they all use weights, just a little different for each application, I do know people that have used 360 flywheel for a stick 440 cause they couldn't find 440 wheel reasonable. worked ok, no serious vibrations. I wouldn't do it, though.

Hey, I've got a torque converter that I was told was for a 360, but it dosn't have any weights on that side, though it has a few smaller ones on the rounded side of the converter. Sound right?

I never seen weights on the trans side of the converter, always on the motor side on the ring or on the converter

Looks 360 from here, but is it a "lock-up" converter? Don't all the 1980's Ranchargers have converter clutches that help with mileage when they lock up in high gear?
