365 H.P S/B had an 8 inch balancer, did 340 and 350 H/P cars have an 8 inch as well or a 6 3/4 inch??

340, 350, 365 and 375 hp 327's all used an 8" balancer. This is not to be confused with the 8" balancer that is used on 350 cubic inch engines. The former is thicker (wider) than the latter. by 3/8" or so. Maybe somebody has the measurements.

All 62-68 finned balancers for optional 327 engines are the same. I have a finned balancer on the SB400 in the 56. I just measured it, it is 1 11/16in wide.
The 8in balancers on later 350s and SB400s are 1 1/2in (according to my handy dandy Stanley tape measure).
