Not mine but if anyone is looking for one seems like a great deal

thanks, just ordered one
-
I don't see any weights advertised.
Am I overlooking it?
-
Says 34 pounds in the description.....
-
And for external balance.

Ah. So I did indeed miss it.
-
And for external balance.
The counterweight appears to be removable, so perhaps it could be neutral balanced...
And on that subject, I can't remember which configurations were externally balanced. 428? (Time flies and the memory fades)
-
If it's removable, you should be in good shape.
410/428 were externally balanced.
-
Do note: that with 'just' the removal of the additional bolt-in counter weight, this may not (very likely won't!) actually make the flywheel "neutral"; though likely provides that it could be more easily made such. ;)

Agreed.
-
In manufacturing, the FW would pretty much, have to be made neutral, to know how much weight to bolt on and how far from center, that would include bolt holes and bolts.

But, were pretty much guessing here, right? :-\
Now, just for thought: what about the empty threaded holes provided for in the retention of the counter-weight when it's removed? ;)

Note the additional single hole, 180° from the weight and further out on the diameter.

Good eye Frank.
I did not see that, but now I do!
-
I grabbed one, looks a lot like the McLeod bolt on weight design that allows both internal or factory external. I'll spin it on the next build, I will a Fidanza alum and a Ford Racing that need true zer, won't take but a few minutes minute to bolt this one on
That being said, I wouldn't worry about using it in either configuration. Correct it when you balance the engine, or match balance it to what you pulled off, easy-breezy
-
c-reed thanks for the heads up. Just purchased.
-

It is convenient that there is, or just happens to be, a hole opposite of the counter weight, but perhaps that's a corrective measure in attempting to achieve the proper imbalance for the intended application? :-\
But still, aren't we just guessing, or perhaps even assuming? ::)

This appears to be a zero balance 31 LB version of the same flywheel(184 tooth) offered by a different seller for the same price with free shipping as well…
