Funny maybe when you don't think outside the box..

I did have a LT1 that was built & balanced..hence the plural term "Engines"

You'll be alrite though..

I was thinking more along the lines of "Engines" stood for the frequency, but nevermind. Over your head. Still funny though.

Thinking the flexplate may have cracked where the weight tacked on or something. Is there anything I can do to get a new flexplate and have it rebalanced without pulling the motor? Seems like TCI sells an external balance version, can I just bolt that on? I have LE2 heads 218-224 cam on the stock bottom end with a yank 3600 and a built tranny. I'm not 100% it's the counterweight given I dont know what it looked like originally, but the flexplate seems to look fine from what I can see. The engine feels pretty out of balance in neutral, no codes, ect.... Here is a pic of what I found in the dustpan..
