Excellent. Can you get a good picture of the crankshaft and post it? We can confirm cast or forged.Engine is out and pan is off.

Just noticed the flex plate is indexed meaning it only bolts on one way. I wonder why that is if it’s neutral balanced?
The balance internal or external is not achieved with the flex plate. Just the converter or flywheel and balancer. That appears to be a steel crank, but if you can turn a rod throw straight up so we can see the parting line, we can confirm it.Just noticed the flex plate is indexed meaning it only bolts on one way.

If it’s a cast 383 crank it will still take a neutral balancer. KimYou're going to have to get the pan off to see if the crank is cast or forged.
Really? Now that's something I was not aware of. Thanks. It appears to be forged, though.If it’s a cast 383 crank it will still take a neutral balancer. Kim
Yes its forged. I have had a few 383s with the drilled damper from factory. KimReally? Now that's something I was not aware of. Thanks. It appears to be forged, though.
So then they are like the 318 then. Cast or forged, still internal balanced. Good to know. Thank you drive through.Yes it us forged. I have has a few 383s with the drilled damper from factory. Kim
