what is the easiest way to tell if my 383 is an internal or external ballanced motor with out pulling the oil pan! had flexplate on it when I got it! It is a 71 383! Jared
I did notice that the damper has an oblong weight on the front of it!
................No 383 had a weight on the balancer........although 71 383 2bbls had a cast crank it still was internally balanced......u may have a 400 or a 400 crank is installed in the 383 or just the wrong balancer..........kim..........
I got the pan off the engine today and checked everything out and the crank is a cast crank, and not a forged one! edges of the crank are cut and not round. still have to take some more pictures! Jared
