460 Identification?

I am getting ready to order a 460 long block. The guy I'm getting it from says he needs the stamped number off my present crankshaft so he will know if my engine is internally or externally balanced.
My question is: can anyone tell me where I will find this stamped number or how to tell the difference.

Thanks,
John

Its on the side on one of the counter weights.

Will either be a 2Y or 3Y.

2Y is internally balanced and 3Y is externally balanced. The internal balanced crank has just a spacer sleeve behind the dampner and the externally balanced crank has the spacer that looks like a counter weight on the crank itself, behind the dampner.
