Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that this or a simular question has probably been asked many times before. I used the search a great deal to find these answers with no luck. If one of you long time forum experts would humor one more newbie with your expertise on this subject I will be sincerely gratefull! Scott

It's been a long time since i worked on a 370 but from what I recall the only external difference is on the crank shaft snout meaning you can not swap balancers between the two.

I can't even recall if the bore was or is smaller either. What are you doing with the old motor?
