Big block balancer question
Is there any advantage or disadvantage to using a stock 7 inch harmonic balancer rather than an 8 incher on a Chevy big block high performance engine. I'm referring to factory balancers.............no aftermarket stuff. I know all high perf engines came with 8 inch balancers.
