theyre getting shipped to me for 720 total!
Odessa has great prices and great people. Got my heads for $765 shipped from them. The heads I got are no longer available. I'd reccomened them to anyone anytime.

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.

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

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.
