a 1 piece seal block is externally balanced, as far as which is better internally or external balancing, neither really, the one piece seal blocks tend to have less rear main seal leaks though...

i would assume a 400 balancer since you'd be using a 400 crank.. not sure to tell ya the truth though.. not a clue on the flywheel question.. try a search im sure they've been asked before

What I did with mine is to get everything internally balanced and the flywheel that I have was balanced as well. The machinist removed the wheight that was on it to get it externally balanced from the company (MCLeod street twin).
And the balancer I used is a fluidamber for that application, bigger than the stock one for a 350.
