Internal external balancer PLEASE HELP
So my SS 400 has been at the machine shop and he sublet it for balancing. The sublet shop calls and says my balancer is off of a LS 400 and won’t work. I just got it back from the Damper Doctor in California for a rebuild and they told me it was correct for my 67. The machine shop says it isn’t. My machinist told me that it will shake bad using the one I have. I told him the car didn’t shake at all with my balancer that is in question.
Who the hell is right here?

So could I even use the 68 balancer on my 67? Or is it just aesthetically incorrect?

The long stroke motors have a different balance. The shop SHOULD be able to rebalance the later balancer to match your motor, but depending on keyway location relative to the weight offset, that might be a problem.

I just had a 350 on the dyno with a Pioneer flexplate. Everything was balanced together. However the flexplate decided to throw the weight off during a pull. I installed another Pioneer flexplate that I bought at the same time, it shakes so bad I have to disassemble the engine and rebalance it to this second flexplate.
My point? None of this stuff is absolute. Have it balanced with whatever balancer you choose and hope like hell you never have to replace it. Or better yet have them balance it internally and you'll never have to worry about a potential imbalance.
