Stan, thanks for that info. That makes things more clear for me now. I expect that would be true for the big block pickups as well............................MO

Problems arise when trying to convert from auto to manual." The fly wheel can be rebalanced by drilling 31/32 holes (3).66 deep at the piont of drill. Have to get book to see pics.

In the rare instance where a later 400 or 440 was ordered with a 4-speed, they used a steel crank. The only external balance flywheels I've ever seen were big block trucks with 12" flywheels.

Hay all, after weighing all the info , I am going to leave the 78 440 engine together. not changing the external balance crank to my 413 internal balance crank. Since I will use a 4 speed, I now need to find a used 10 1/2 "flywheel for external balance. I don't want to modify an internal balance flywheel and I know about the new one from" 440 Source. " So what engines and years would have an interchangable 10 1/2 " external balance flywheel?
