Default Need Some Expert Advice

Hey Guys, Need Some Help On My 383 Stroker. I Was Assured Today By A Real Good Engine Builder That A 350 Harmonic Balancer Would Work On My Engine Because I Have Aftermarket Internally Balanced Crank. Not The 4oo Crank. This Would Be Great Because It Would Save Me Some Cash And I Could Fire This Thing Up All The Sooner. Thanks . Jack

If the engine truly has been internally balanced, then you need a regular 350 type balancer and a regular 350 type flywheel. No extra weight needed.

Sounds like you have some extra $$$ now to play with!

Yes that balancer will work fine. Was that the question?
