just got back from getting the motor. looks to be in GREAT shape. all the freeze plugs look new. there is 140k on it, and looks like it was in a saltless state as the manifolds dont have hardly any rust on them.
also, got the heads all ordered from odessa. theyre being ported, having new springs installed to handle the .510 lift, and theyre putting 1 piece stainless valves in them for me!
theyre getting shipped to me for 720 total!

with the way people drive lately i would not even consider something like that. that is probably why he is getting rid of it. tired of people trying to run him over.
i replace a dash light, cleaned up some wiring and fixed the wiring to the dome light under the mat. i also installed the voltage gauge i bought on the weekend. nice to know the voltage.

just realized while looking at my new engine, that it didnt come with a flywheel... called the JY where i got it, and they told me if they have one i can have it for free. otherwise, im on the hunt for a balanced flywheel for a 360... fuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkk

You need flywheel or flex plate? I've got a good flex plate I need to get rid of. Already balanced.

Did they kiss you?
Balanced involves a process of rotating at high speed (or sometimes low) so if it is not still attached, it really isn't balanced any longer. It is just weighted.
so if the flexplate is no longer on, and i put one on, will everything be ok? because the 360 is externally balanced...

Engine balancing versus flexplate balancing are different things. If it is a used flexplate, it has already been "balanced" or whatever you want to call it IF it still has the weights on it. The weights are spot welded onto the flexplate, so it is easy to check and see if any weights are missing.
