<snip>You can buy a 72 360 flexplate and bolt it to the 70 crank.
NO NO NO!
This is totally wrong!  You cannot bolt a late model (727/904)
flexplate to an early (BorgWarner) crank!  You're getting bad
advice here!  The flange mountings are different, and they
won't align without adapters.

There's also been some evidence posted here that the 70-early 71
360's are differently balanced than the later model 360's
(flywheel counter weights are in a different position).

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if you've
got the motor out anyway, get it balanced by a good
shop.  It's money well spent.

Good luck!

I have pulled the 360 out of my 1970 Rebel (standard trans) and plan to put
it in my Javelin (with a 904).

Obviously the flywheel will bolt right up but am I going to have a engine
balance problem?

Is the only solution to break the engine down entirely and have it all
balanced?

Thanks,
