To be or not to be (Internal or external balanced)
How to correctly tell if engine is externally/internally balanced?
If it's external, then my balancer would have a weight on the inside as well as a weight flywheel correct?

Re: To be or not to be (Internal or external balanced)
Correct about the damper, but with the flywheel or flexplate, it's complicated with the 1-piece-rear-main-seal engines.
for the '87-up blocks, most stroker cranks, whether internal or external balance, still keep the stock rear external weight, just so you can use any stock-style flywheel or flexplate.
Also confusing the issue, there are stealth dampers available that hide the external balance. These are easy to find on Speedway's website.
