only thing left that im wondering is the weight of the bolt on weight that came with the source flywheel...im wondering if it is the right weight I need before I go and buy the other one...looking at the pictures on the brewers site the weight I have looks more like the non magnum cast crank weight than any of the big block weights they have

If it looks like the correct weight that came with your flywheel, it must be it. I am going by faded memories of the installation I did, and of course it was the little big block weight I bought and installed. I think I recall being told by 440 source that the weight with the flywheel was non magnum 360.

well I just called 440 source again and sure enough they said they are not sure. I was put on hold so that he could ask their tech guy, and the tech guy said its the same for both small and big blocks (obviously wrong as I know now). So now im not sure what the heck to do. That weight is 35 bucks that I may not need to spend from looking at these pictures

Im wondering if I weigh the weight that I have if it will have all of the off balance weight in it, or if where it is mounted and such makes a difference...what i mean is will weighing just the weight tell me if it will work or not?

Anybody know?

well I talked with Mcleod who said that the weight i need should weigh 109 grams. I went to go weigh the weight I had that came with the 440source wheel and it came out to 134g, so it looks like I need a new weight...although its interesting to note that the smallblock needs more off balance weight but would use a weight that weighs less than the big block weight

If that weight info is correct, you should be able to just trim some material off your weight. Weigh it as you go , till you get it right. Sounds like the weight that came with the flywheel was for a magnum motor.
