Internally balanced?

[ReturnofCuda]

Is it worth the extra money to have an internally balanced rotating assembly for street use. Planning on roller cam and rockers, Stroker kit in a 340 giving me a 416 c.i. pushing between 400 to 500 HP.

  If your pushing a small block to those upper limets, i would undoubetably balance it. $$wise it's a drop in the bucket
good luck

PLUMB CRAZY

I just built a 408.  You've got to balance the engine either way.  I went with steel crank (internally balanced).  The only reason I went with the steel is that I got a good price and it's easier to find a neutral balanced flywheel and balancer if your going with new.  My understanding is that either is good for street or strip up to 500 hp (which is the limit of the stock block).

you piston weight will be way lighter with the stroker so yes it Has to be blanced
