Converter for 73' 340 cast crank?
« on: September 22, 2006 - 05:27:34 PM »
Do I need a special flexplate/converter for this setup?  The block was cast in 72(for 73) it says use for cast crank(damper). 

Thanks everyone.  My first 340 :dunno:

Thanks I found a B+M Flexplate 10234 it looks like I can use a zero balance converter w/this.  I have a stock 318 converter now but I would like to upgrade to an aftermarket one when I swap motors.  I have a 904 trans that will need a rebuild eventually.  Unless I can find a 727 to replace it :dunno:
