Default 28 0z or 50 oz?

Hi guys just wondering how i can tell the difference between the too. I just bought a 408w that the guy said is balanced to 50 oz. I'm just trying to make sure myself and not quite sure so i thought'd i'd ask. Just physical size?

should be no difference in size, its all about the counterweight location and size, not the actual unit

It is very hard to believe! Attempting to balance a stroker crank with a 50oz balancer and plate just dosent workout, about 1100 rpm the crank will try to jump off the machine seen it with my own eye!

He might be selling you a 308 lol.

Find a part number, or any id marking!

Hi guys. K well i got a part number from the flywheel. It is a tci flexplate that when i cross referenced it on tci's website it states its a 50 oz. I also know the block is a 351w. I have heard the motor running and sounds good.
So by going with what venom stated should i be worried now. ?

Well a stock 351 is also balanced with a 28oz setup! are you sure that its a 351? did you get the number from the aft portin of the block?

I was going to cut cost and balance my 347 with my 50oz stuff since it was sfi approved parts and it just didnt happen! i had to get a stock 351 balancer and a pa flexplate. 28oz.
