I'm stumped again boys! I found a counter weight cast in the back of the balancer, broke my heart at first, did GM external balance some of ther forged cranks? Block #14015445 nothing stamped on vin tag not a truck motor.

Yes. It cost more to internal balance.

Don't let your heart sink so fast next time. LOL.

Thanks sb, I'm old school mopar I just fliped at first no stamps on the vin pad got me thinking rational agan. Boat is in great shape for age just could not beleave somone would dump a truck engine in it, thanks again sb i will sleep better tonight.

It's alright.

All the Mopar guys I know are on edge too. LMAOF>

heck, the edelbrock IS a carter AFB, only shiny. and no, you don't have to redo the transom to go to a bravo. they mount to the same hole. 2 extra bolt holes have to be drilled just above the top of the keyhole cutout. shop around for a neglected bravo boat with shot interior and cracked block. you can get a bravo setup complete for about 2k that way.

Thanks for all the info. I'm not paying 2k , but you pointed me in the rite direction and I salute you. I'm planing ahead.
