Are you looking to identify the engine or swap a flywheel? You cannot use a internal balcnce flywheel on an external balance engine (and visa versa) without rebalancing the rotating assy. The FT forged crankshafts have the larger snout. It's either a 361 or 391 crank. Possibly an odd 389 even. These were forged steel cranks and the 391 cranks are worth a good penny. If your looking to identify the engine post the crank and rod numbers. Block and heads also. If it's a 391 FT engine the block might be pretty good and maybe a 4.13 bore candidate if wall core thickness checks out. G.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
