I don't know if Ford ever did this or not.
Why do you ask?

Phil, you don't have an original 428 (with the original, unmolested crank), do you? If you don't, then it doesn't matter. I had my 428 internally balanced when I had it stroked out to 4.125". Usually, 428 engines are externally balanced -- so flywheels are a big deal. But, it wouldn't hurt to just mark it with a Sharpie and put it all back in the same position. Post some pics so we can see how you're doing. |
