If your gonna use Valvoline then use the VR1, unless you plan on putting a new cam in it after first run! VR1 has the more zinc for flat tappit cams.

which do i use ? will the 360 work or will the balancer be wrong ?

352/360/390/410/428: There are two different harmonic balancers:

C3AZ-6312-E = 1963/67 352/390/410/428 / D5TZ-6316-D (replaced C8AZ-6316-A & D2TZ-6316-A) = 1968/70 428 (except 1969/70 S/CJ), 1968/76 360/390

360 introduced in 1968, used in F100/350's only / 410: 1966/67 Mercury Parklane only.

Outer pulleys for accessories (P/S, A/C, T/E, Dual Belt Alternators) bolt to the balancers, could have one, two, three or four sheaves (pulley grooves).

The A/T flexplate (C5AZ-6375-D) is the same: 1965/67 352/390, 1968/76 360/390 for Passenger Cars & F100/350's with FX & MX C-O-M & C6.

The 1965/76 352/360/390 M/T flywheels have the same applications as the flexplate.

There are two, because 352/360's (C5AZ-6375-K) have an 11" clutch on a 12 3/8" bolt circle. 390's (C5AZ-6375-L) have an 11 1/2" clutch on a 12 7/8" bolt circle.

But one can be used in place of the other.

Looking good Mike! I like red ryder parts bin :P

It looks like you're planning on running dual breathers instead of a PCV system. I would suggest to change that passenger breather to a pcv and run to the carb. If not you'll be changing that thing left and right because it'll clog up fairly fast when used that way. JMO
