Some people say you shouldn't interchange balancers between engines, but in my experience all modern Olds v-8's use the same balancer. The factory parts book only listed one service part # for all 350 and 455 engines the last time I looked. The aftermarket manufacturers only make one balancer for all Olds engines. I'd say compare the 2 original balancers, if they look the same (counterweights the same size & in the same place) it should work fine. 'Course I'm no engineer. Maybe you should check with Joe Mondello (www.mondellotwister.com) he'd know for sure.
