I've got 2 406" motors and a 434" motor, i can assure they all run 350 balancers (neuteral balance) you have too look at the block too know the difference. Even the cheap rotating assy's come either neuteral balance or external balance, your choice.

Zip what would be the monetary difference in a mild 350 build and a mild 406 build? That would be the diff owed on the deal I would think. I know not knowing what is in the motor makes it difficult to arrive at a number. I am in no way an engine builder I have someone else do all mine but I dont think that it would be that much diff in the builds
It cost the same to build a good streetable 350 or a 406" The cranks cost the same the rods cost the same, and the pistons cost the same. You can buy a cheapie rebuild kit for a 350 for about $400.00 including crank, rods and pistons, where it would cost about $600.00 to buy a rotating assy for a 406 or a 383. Eagle,Scat and other people sell them.
