Rick- This is the crankshaft I have.

It is for an internally balanced engine. I’m going to have Carl balance my rotating assembly when I’m ready. I’m going to ship the components I already have up to him and I’ll have the new Mahle pistons shipped directly to him. One of the reasons he pushed for the 6 inch rods was that he said it made balancing the assembly simpler. He also was of the opinion that 5.7 inch rods wore a lot on the cylinder walls. The balancer he recommended is a neutrally balanced unit. I’m wondering, would it be that with internal balancing I wouldn’t need the larger balancer required on the externally balanced 400 sbc and the old style 383s that used a modified 400 production crank?
Dieter- For some reason Edelbrock is really proud of that one.:rolleyes: I guess it’s because it only fits Vortec heads. I know Jegs and Assualt both make their own, more economical versions but I’ve read nothing but good things about the Edelbrock Performer intake so I think I’ll bite the bullet. In addition to the corrosion protection the black powder coating provides as you pointed out, I think it’s pretty bad ass looking to boot.
