Will the torque converter from a 360 be the same as a 318?

Will the torque converter from a 360 be the same as a 318?
Wrong. Absolutely not. The 360 torque convertor had a huge weight atttached to counterbalance the externally balanced 360 motor. The other LA motors are internally balanced, or "neutral" so any neutral balanced convertor (all aftermarket) will work. If you use a 360 convertor on a neutral balanced motor, you will immediantly know it as it will be out of balance and have a severe vibration at idle. If you are going to use an aftermarket convertor, you need to use a weighted flex late. B&M makes such a flexplate that basically has the 360 counterweight already attached so any neutral balanced convertor will work.
