Yep- first thing I wanted to add as soon as I posted in the thread. My '71 build '72 is cast crank external balance and seems to be a great example of an original motor- came out of a Duster or Demon and was cooked in a Swinger in '82 or so.
Actually- I could guess. My Mopar Performance .500 springs were red with darker red/black stripes on them.
