(11-03-2014, 05:14 PM)Petar Take the auto flywheel and have it match balanced to the new one. Some 617 engines have a neutral balance flywheel and some don't, differs from engine to engine.

That'd be a job for the shop that did the crank in my 340 then. Is there anyway to tell a Neutral Balance 617 Auto Flywheel from a External Balance 617 Auto Flywheel? Part Number, size of the holes/number of the holes?

The one on my 617 looks like a neutral balance flywheel...IF I was to look at it like it was a mopar flywheel. Small holes drilled in the outer perimeter of the flywheel, equal spacing, just like the ones I'd see on a Neutral Balance 11" or 13" 318 Mopar Truck Flywheel. Of course that might be enough to mess with me, since I'm new to Mercs and just using mopar info here.
