Mike,

Unsure that he wanted the Hi Po version, from his e-mail.  There are 
differences,
even in a stock balancer, amongst the weight balance.  I believe that 3 bolt
versions were 28 oz and 4 bolt versions were 50 oz, with the flywheel and crank
balance to match.


The Hi-Po version is not necessarily a good thing, even though it looks "Boss".
There were additional weights inside the timing chain cover, and a thinner 
timing
chain to allow it.  Many have had these internal weights removed and the entire
engine re-balanced to be correct.,  Is it worth it?

Steve
