if anyone has a 360 WITH flexplate and balancer on it that has like 100k or 150k or something that i could buy off them for cheap AROUND NJ and get it rebuilt i wouldnt mind doing that either so if anyone has a wrecked 1997 or so dodge ram with the 360 with no egr crap on it they wouldnt mind selling me they should probably message me because id like that thanks

Im still confused....wont all the stuff from your 318 bolt right on to the new 360 block?...then you could return the 318 block as a core? putting a used 360 block in is a huge waste of time and labor unless you find a low mileage wreck..which is likely to need things anyway on 2 gen trucks and be a gamble?
