Blueprint crate engine question

[poorhouse]

He also says he has no idea as it’s still in whatever it’s in!

So my question is… what’s it’s in? Car, truck… is an auto or manual behind it now?

If it’s an auto now, chances are it’s a 727 and if so, why not just get everything you need when you pull it, if the guy will allow it!

not exactly. haven't got around to pulling dampner to see which weights are in it.

Gotcha!!!

Misunderstood when you said you hadn’t pulled it yet as I thought you were referring to the motor.

A stock 360 damper will have a cut out in the front as do some aftermarket ones, some aftermarket ones you can just run your hand behind it and feel the weight without having to pull it.

If you can find the serial number on it (driver side usually on a dog tag) send it to me, and I can confirm what it is (or at least what it left as). It's a fair concern someone has been inside of it, given the age, but probably slim chance someone pulled it apart, re-balanced it, and still sold it saying "it's a BluePrint engine" but crazier things have happened I suppose.

This have iron heads? Or aluminum? Not that that changes the balance, just curious.
