Question...Is a stock 350 internally balanced? If so what does one have to look for?
It depends the later 350s had a rear external balance and none at the front.
i'm aware that this is an old post.
Anyway. If pistons, or conrods, are to be replaced, the engine should be rebalanced?
I guess that new components most likely are of a different weight that originals.
I'm asking since I'm rebuilding a 350 which already have forged pistons. I found most of the conrods out of spec and need to replace them. I see that new are of different weight!
If this is the case it might be cheaper for me to buy a complete rotating assembly?
Just checked the cost for rebalancing!
Here in Denmark, $700 :huh:
About the same as a rotating kit exc. shipping and tax.
My quoestion as that the crankshafts counterweights are balanced for a certain conrod and piston configuration. Now that I replace these with lighter rods and pistons
