That's not a BBC balancer. Fords that are internally balanced, still will be counter-weighted on the balancer and flywheel.

This has caused many fits getting flywheels for motors - especially the small blocks when stroking. Once the info is known, the fit stops. LOL. Thus why I'm sharing this.

The 502 flywheel still has a counter-weight, the drilling is done about 180 degrees from cast-in weighted tab. The difference between a mark iv and a gen 5-6 is about 30-40 grams, which can vary between the gen 5-6 454 to the gen 5-6 502.
