How does the bores in the block look?
100 sounds very cheap, could be a forged crank

Balancer

The balancer looks like it was put on with a sledge hammer by a blind man. Jerry

Jerry I thought the very same thing when I saw the picture, either putting it on or trying to get it off.

The balancer is banged up and cracked, didn't see it till I took it apart, does anyone think this is an l79 motor?

Those heads are cast in 62-63 and the block in 68-69 so I think someone have put it together in the past

its a CE block which is an over the counter replacement. It could have been built up to L79 specs. It depends on the cam and the dome on your pistons.
