"360 or 408 crank needs to use the balancer and flexplate or flywheel to
balance the motor." That would be external balancing?
"Personally, I'd recommend internal balancing on a 360 or 408 build" That
would be having the crank shaft balanced?
If my current 318 is externally balanced via the flexplate/balencer and the
new stroker crank is balanced, will that throw off the balance (is a new
unbalanced flexplate needed)?
Where is the "balancer" located?
Thanks

360 or 408 crank needs to use the balancer and flexplate or flywheel to
balance the motor. 318 does not. Personally, I'd recommend internal
balancing on
a 360 or 408 build, especially if you are swapping from a 318. That way
it's
just bolt and go. Internal balancing is relatively inexpensive as part of
your build.
