On the subject of 383 versus 400 internal balance, keep in mind that forged crank 383's all had higher compression height than any 400 so the extra weight that comes from the larger diameter of the 400 piston is offset by the taller compression height of the 383; since the rods and pins are the same, the bobweight would probably be near the same for both (within factory tolerances).
