swapping a 360 to a 352 and have questions

[John in Vegas]

73 F250, 2WD, t18. Have a bad 360 and got a 352 to swap. I know these FE engines are internally balanced, but the 360 has what looks like a harmonic balancer and the 352doesnt. Is that normal? Also, the oil pan on the 360 has the sump in the rear, 352 is on the front. How do I fix that? The 352 came out of a 60's F100.
Thanks,
John in Vegas

Vegas is a cool place! Been there once for Monster Jam!

All FE engines have a balancer! Look harder, the pulley will be an integral part of the balancer, or have a pulley that covers the balancer. It is there, trust me.



The pan, oil pump, and, pickup will swap over from your 360. I recommend a new oil pump while you're there, and if a new pickup can't be found, clean it VERY VERY thoroughly!!

Gooood luck!
