I have several flexplates for a 360 TF. They have a 1"X3" weight on them. I have another one that is identical except the weight is 1"X2.5". What is this one for? According to this thread the 304's have a narrow weight.

They are all listed here:
http://rebsamcandjeep.proboards.com/thread/585/amc-290-401-flywheels-flexplates The 304 -727/904 Flex Plates had 2 different types of weights, a curved one and one with a 1"x 2 3/4" rectangular pad welded on. The 360-727 had a 1"x 3 1/8" pad welded on it. |

I have 1970 AMX with a 360 and the M-B11 trans. Some how 1 of the 3 bolts for the torque converter to bolt to the flexplate broke, leaving some of the bolt in the torque converter. I found this chasing a vibration. I am going to pull apart and try to remove the busted bolt from the tc. Problem is the bolt hole in the flexplate has been elongated and I wouldn't want to trust just replacing the bolt. Am I understanding what I have read here that even if I only replace the flexplate and reuse the tc, I have to have the new flexplate and crank rebalanced as an assembly? Please tell me I am wrong and can just replace the fp. I will be replacing all 3 bolts and spacers to the torqconverter. |

I would weld the half a hole shut and make it round again with a die grinder.

I see that most of the info here pertains to late 60’s forward. I was hoping to get info, recommendations on finding a flexplate for an early 60’s 327. Will be bolted up to a stock 59 trans with torque tube.
Thanks for the help. Benjamin

I added a picture of the TH400 crank bushing to this post with some info. It is a Jeep thing but if you are transplanting a AMCJeep engine which was mated to a TH400 in to a car with a 727 you need to know this.

so if the 360 and 401 have the same weight can you inter change them

You can't or, shouldn't, inter change any of them . Each engine was balanced individually with the vibration damper and flywheel/Flex plate mounted to the rotating assembly. Normally the 360 and 401 does not have the same weight. |
