i have a 76 aspen with a 318 manual trans and a 79 with a 360 h.o auto trans brining me to my question of how easy the swap will be can i just put the flywheel off the 318 on the 360 or will that trow off my engine balance. i have alread swaped a volare 318 to a 360 with little problems but they where both auto. any info that you guys could provide would be awsome i'm not too familar with the a-833.

This question could be better answered on http://www.moparts.com , but here goes.

The 360 is an externally balanced engine, the 318 is an internally balanced engine. You will need a flywheel from a 360. The rear cross member is the same for all tranmissions. The bellhousing you need will have to match the bearing retainer on your transmission. Over the years, there were three differant sizes. So measures yours and go find the correct bellhousing.
