I'm somewhat thinking I can't get away without a rebalance... I know, this isn't the 'right' way.. These engines have an inbalance due to the configuration already and if you see how much dirt there was in the front pulley and flywheel, it would have added at least 20 grams of external weight.. Yet it ran fine.

The best way would be to re-balance your setup, but the bob weights should be calculated for a V6. Not the typical 50/50 rule that happened to work pretty well on a 90-degree V8.

Have you compared your flywheel to a 305 flywheel? You're certain it is a larger diameter?
