327 balancer
I'm building a 327 (sj) and have a press on balancer. A friend told me "have the crank drilled for that". Is this something that is really necessary? Do they come off at high rpm's? And is that a "normal" service at a machine shop?'55 Chevy 210 2dr

Good idea to do it, Bob. Anyone with a good lathe should be able to do it for you. They do come off.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Streets & Dave,
Thanks...done deal. I've gotta say that the thought of the dampner coming off at 7 grand is pretty ugly.....REALLY bad things would happen I'm sure!!!
Thanks guys.....'55 Chevy 210 2dr

Hey Mad, isn't experience a great teacher??? Add me to the "been there, done that" list, except it was on a 283 punched to 301!!! Kinda like buy insurance Bob, too late to buy it once the damage is done.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
