Just look for the steam holes between the cylinders, if it has the heads off. If not, check the vibration damper for a balance weight, or the ring gear for a weight. The 400 is the only externally-balanced SBC.

According to morte, considered the bible of chevy casting numbers to some. It is a 1969 302, or 350, with the 4 bolt main caps. Link # 1 is the block casting #s. Link # 2 shows how to find the block casting date on your motor for the year it was made. The 2nd link is titled casting # locations, but also in the first paragraph it gives the date location along with the casting location.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
