83 460 same as 79?
My 83 460 in my f250 needs some work. So I'm looking at swapping it out with a 79 I have a line on. So my question is are the accessories the same? Will I be able to bolt all my accessories from my 83 onto the same spot on the 79? Anything else I should know before I do this? Thanks in advance!

D1VE-6015-A2B has an internal balance.
D9TE-6015-AB has an external balance.

The external balance D9TE block has a weighted crank spacer.

No, he's not talking about the flywheel, he's talking about the block. Do your homework here and be sure you end up with the correct combination of parts to use, mismatching parts from the two balancing techniques causes excessive vibration and you will destroy your bearings.
