I've balanced 4 different 383s since this started and all the bob wts were 1700 +- 20 grams

The one piece seal cranks are internal front external rear needing a weighted flywheel/flexplate

the 2 piece seal are internal front and rear and none of them needed any mallory---the scat and callies cranks have drilled rod journals which make them easy to balance without adding weight---does the howard have a big hole drilled thru the middle of the journals???

The GM seal adapter you need is #10051118 plus seal, gasket and bolts/dowel pins

I haven't got to the K teck ones yet

Yes the Howards does have big holes.Callies does the machine work for Howards which is owned by Competition Products.

No doubt about it-I am going to want the K tech.Send a PM to me.Mean while I will be gathering the rods,bearings,H/B etc.

what rods and pistons are you looking for--Corey probably has them on the shelf---I know there's 25-30 sets of pistons out there and dozens of sets of rods?????

I have Icon's -18 dished already and I want 4340 Scat I beam's with 7/16's ARPs.Part number SCR5A7 floaters that match up with the pistons,.

Gary--clean out your PM box so messages can come thru

We have those rods at a better price than CP and also if you need dog bones and holddown for roller lifters we have reclaimed ones from our core supplier(used)

Cleaned out
