Depending on how your reciprocating assembly is balanced will make a diffference too. Typically, a stock balancer is 28oz imbalance. When going to a stroker kit that has NOT been neutral or zero balanced, you need a 50oz imbalance.

Also, a lot of the balancers out there need to be honed to fit your crank snout - keep this in mind. My ATI was like this.

Hmm I hear different on 347" from each machine shops I've visited always told me my blown347" needed a 28oz fly wheel and balancer

The rule of thumb i go by is (but there are some exceptions) most cast stroker cranks are going to be a 28oz ecxept stock cranks most of your 5.0 cranks are a 50 oz balance and older 302s and 289s are a 28oz imbalance, most 4340 forged cranks are going to be an internal balance aka neutral or 0 balance. Maybe that may help. [patriot]
