In the case of an internally balanced motor, the lower rotating assembly inside the motor (pistons, rods, crank and so on) is balanced independent of any external parts. In an externally balanced motor, the converter and/or harmonicbalancer are required to ensure that the engine does spin out-of-balance.
no, it's internal. same as a 350.
NO
Typically, engines are internally, or externally balanced to reduce horizontal movement and vibration. If a mount is bad or disconnected, the torque from the engine could possibly create a shimmy with the whole assembly, but I really doubt it. check your ball joints and tie-rods just in case.
Wrong. Absolutely not. The 360 torque convertor had a huge weight atttached to counterbalance the externally balanced 360 motor. The other LA motors are internally balanced, or "neutral" so any neutral balanced convertor (all aftermarket) will work. If you use a 360 convertor on a neutral balanced motor, you will immediantly know it as it will be out of balance and have a severe vibration at idle. If you are going to use an aftermarket convertor, you need to use a weighted flex late. B&M makes such a flexplate that basically has the 360 counterweight already attached so any neutral balanced convertor will work.
No, because an electric car does not have an engine - it has a motor. The motor can fail though. If it gets dirty internally, or shorts out, or it is designed to have a cooling system connected but does not, etc. can lead to the motor failing.
externally, they are the same. The engine mounting holes on the block are the same. the motor mounts themselves might be different though.
By looking at the build of it. If it's a gas turbine, jet engine, ramjet, or rocket motor, then it's not internal combustion. If it uses pistons in enclosed cylinders, then the combustion occurs internally, within the engine housing. Hence, that would be an internal combustion motor. a reciprocating steam engine is external combustion even though it has enclosed cylinders
wiper motor assembly. internally shorted. common problem. replacing the motor (with the control unit attached) should fix it.
IMRC stands for intake manifold runner controller. It is used for emission control and performance. your intake manifold has plates inside that are connected to a rod and tghe connected to the control motor. each bank of the engine can be opened and closed by the motor depending on engine load and other things. If the motor gets burns out or is shorted internally it will neend to be replaced. also the rods that go from the motor to the intake can come off at the intake or at the motor. if this happens the bushings will need to be replaced.
Internal differences: the GE motor have lower compression ratio so that it can use 95 octane fuel, 156 horsepower. The CE motor is high compression and uses 98 octane fuel, 185 hp (euro spec. engine) Low comp engine has got flat top pistons Externally the differences are vicible with the GE engine beeing "waterproofed" and has a different oil pan. Interchanging engines between cars should be possible if you are a skilled "home mechanic" Internal differences: the GE motor have lower compression ratio so that it can use 95 octane fuel, 156 horsepower.

Externally they are both the same. The 389 motor mounts should work just fine.
