Atten "ZIX" balancer weighting
I want to change the balancer on my ZZ4 crate engine so it fits the 91 Vette without modifying the crossmember. It appears you have already have done this. Where do I get the damper weighted???? Thanks

What, weighted??? The ZZ4 is a gen I engine, isn't it? Except for the 400 and certain crossbreed strokers, all Gen I engines are neutrally balanced in front. Slap your old damper on the new engine and be on your way.

Give Trevor at Exotic Muscle a call, he'll remember better than I will because it was a shop car down there that we were working on. Just tell him it was the black supercharged ZZ383...he'll remember it very well because we had MANY hours into that thing!! Their number is 480 967 4222

Did I not address what you were talking about, even though it has nothing to do with the subject? What does what a ZZ383 comes with have to do with anything?

This info makes my day!!! I was wondering what I was going to do about balancer. Bought it because I had ZZ383 crank and rods and figured it was a close match and then read a few post talking about interference in C-4 chassis. 
So if have this they should be able to balance 6 3/4 balancer to that specs and good to go??
