: You will have to use a late model ballancer for the motor that you are buying. Your old one is not the right balance for the new motor. You should be able to swap out the front cover without any problem, as long as you get a cover that has the hole for the dipstick tube. You will have to get a plug for the hole in the driver side of the block where the dipstick tube went for the rear sump pan.
: Hmmm, what else is there to tell you...
I know that my balancer has 4 bolts and the late ones have 3. or is it the other way around...?>
I can probably have my balance guy handle that as well as long as it will fit the crank...maybe??
