Seems I remember that the 71's were the last 383's made and they were externally balanced. This one came with a weighted harmonic balancer like I have never seen. I've had 360's, 400's and 440's that were externally balanced, but this is different.
Then you need to use that balancer, the back end I have no idea but I assume it's close to the 400 ???

All cast crank big blocks take the same external weight, the 360 needs a much larger weight.

The subject in the OP is converters and "all cast crank big blocks take the same external weight".

Have a 71 383. It's apparently externally balanced. What is the difference between it and externally balanced 400's, 440's and 360's? What can I use for a converter?
Get the flex plate from B+M , assuming that they all use the same weighted converter, and then you can use ANY neutral balance converter your heart desires .
