I'm marrying this down so thank you for all your help it's been great but my question is now I ran into an issue I have a 93 4.3 with the balance shaft it is considered the heavy version I have a motor that by the serial number is 93 through 97 but it has the light balance shaft which would include the light Pistons Etc I have read that you cannot put a light balance shaft into a block that had the heavy because of the way the bearing was in shim on the rear of the shaft but can I put my complete rotating assembly with my heavy into that other block that had the light or do you have any suggestions thank you

You can move everything. If it needs it, have a machine shop check the crank out. Turn and balance if needed.
