RE: 360 for a '64 Valiant

[Dustin Cloud <hell_fish_65@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

B&M sales a balaced flex plate. Its a better piece that the stocker and you wont have to worry about it throwing the weighs off like the 360 TC. I would be careful about that 360 though. If it needs head gaskets, it may have bigger prolems. Did it over heat, did coolant get in the oil system on the in cyclinders. Check it over very well.
