My new 408 kit should be here in about 2 weeks.  Got the Scat internal balanced kit from Summit. Cam bearings, freeze plugs, and new main cap bolts are on their way. Enough to get the short block done for now. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions before this build is done. |

If I ever have to go through my 360 in my truck I want to stroke it for more pulling power. Since it's internally balanced, what harmonic balancer is used? Or does it come with one? And, what pulleys would be used?

318/340 stule balancer i believe. i have a sfi balancer that has a removable wieght for an internal balance motor. and the pullies i'm just gonna use the 360 ones i have been using.. if i run into any problems or need special parts i will post it. |

Same for me. I'm going to use the pulley's that I have already, but I'll need to get a new balancer. There's almost 20 different ones for an internally balanced 360 on Summit. The one that I like is made by Scat, and flatlander has it right now for $89. It's listed for a 318/340/360, so I'm assuming it's for an internal balance, but it doesn't really say. Nice looking piece, with big easy to read timing marks, for not much money. But I've never used them. http://www.flatlanderracing.com/scat-dampers.html |

other then that yah everything measured real nice and again the 4 inch crank fit in the 4.080 over 340 block without any clearencing at all.......and if they send you std P bearings you will have to chamfer the bearing a hole bunch...but not with the HN series...
