but if your there anyways minus well just grab it anyway. then you got a spare fuse. when was the last time you saw a parts store selling a fuse that high. i think if they did sell them they would be stupid expensive.

I have tons of them if he needs one. Besides, you don't need to upgrade the fuse anyway.

Are you using the harmonic damper and flywheel that came with the 360? The 360 is externally balanced and the 318 is internally balanced.

of course! i already knew that. unlike 99% of the newbs here i know how to do my research. besides, that subject has been beaten to death.

edit: motor didnt come with a flexplate, so i bought one off techningeer. did a little more to the motor today. just small stuff, that im buying slowly. tax returns are gone already, so money has to be stretched a bit. dog, kids, and family comes first. truck comes third. haha

Well I'm glad that you are aware of that. The reason I mentioned it is the damper in your picture looks totally different than the one on my 2001 360.

I actually got it at PATC. If works pretty well with my combo. You may not need that high of a stall with your set up. I would contact them and see what they recommend.
