Flexplate and torque converter
I was told that there are two different crankshaft geometries for ford Lima series engines, one pre 71 and the other for the later engines. Supposably it is possible to mismatch a crankshaft/flexplate with a torque converter. I am currently rebuilding a '79 460 block(d9te-ab) to replace an older one (dive 6015-a2b). Will this cause a mismatch or am I just hearing a bunch of bs?

No, the torque converter is neutral balanced in both cases. Only the flex plate is different.
Oh and I though the internal to external balance change was in 1978, but my memory fails me more often as I get older.
