NOTE: Big block Chevy's flywheel (or flexplate) counterweight balance changed significantly with the introduction of the Gen 5 and 6 engines around 1991 due to the switch to a one-piece rear main seal. This change increased the external balance offset from approximately 33.0 to 42.5 ounce-inches for the Gen 5/6 engines and even shifted to a different spec of 41.7 ounce-inches for some Gen 6 forged cranks.
