So the block can tell you what balancer and flexplate came with it from the factory. Of course if it has an aftermarket crank it could come with weighted balancer and flexplate or neutral balancer and flexplate or any combination there of.

Wasn't the one piece rear main seal a change that happened in the mid 80s? I'm thinking '86 off the top of my head. Anyway, by then it would have been called 5.7 liter, wouldn't it? It would have taken a completely different balancer too.
The counterweighted cranks are indexed to the flywheel/flexplate too. It would be hard to get that mixed up.

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
