I'm going to be buying a '68 302 long block from a shop here in L.A. I've asked them if they needed the damper and/or flywheel to balance it, and they say that it is all internally balanced. This throws me off since all Ford Small Blocks are externally balanced. Does anyone know if this is possible, or is it that the person that I spoke to does not know what he's talking about

He states that all internals are balance to OE specifications. I must be missing something. Oh, and if it is possible, does that mean that I would have to get a neutral damper or what?

Help!
