Hey guys i gotta quick question. I have yet to buy my crank (plan on doing it monday) but its gonna be internally balanced as yawll well know. I wanted to know if the crank snout on a 400 is the same size as the crank snout on any other sbc. Im asking cuz i need to buy an internally balanced harmonic damper for it and i cant find any for a 400 that are internally balanced (makes sence). So i was just gonna get a 7-8" 350 crank balancer. Will that slip on or not?

I just calculated on an Excel Sheet How Much It Would Cost To Duplicate This Engine I Am Building

7051 dollars and 50 cents

That does not include any bolts,lube,oil,gaskets, however it does include the exhaust i plan on throwing on there. Also this does not include machine work. ...**** i didnt know ive spent as much money as i have :banghead: Imma calculate later today or tomorrow how much ive spent and will wind up spending since i didnt buy everything brand new.
