Default flywheel and balancer?

I am in the process of gathering up parts to finish m 97 gen vi 454. I went with a 6.385 rod and a 4.250 forged crank. I have everything but the a balancer and flywheel that will work with my internally balance crank. I have looked through old threads trying to find my answer but cant seem to find the answer. My question is where do i find a internal balance balancer and a internal balancer flywheel for a 97 gen vi 454. The started bolts to the block if that makes a different. Also what brand balancer works best.

Jegs should have whatever you need. I have used a Fluidampr for 20 years now with no problems.

I have a neutral balanced flywheel I'm looking to get rid of. It is a factory mercury flywheel that has been neutral balanced. Perfect condition.

or another option,gm427 balancer is neutral balanced(you can look that one up in the catalogs) then source a nodular iron neutral balanced flywheel.

the 2 piece flywheel still fits the 1 piece crank. you can use any 2 piece 350 or 396-427 neutral flywheel. I would recommend getting them balanced with the rotating assembly.

Yes it can. With a HD driveplate the center will bottom out on a normal flywheel.

Exactly to my point, it uses a different coupler, when I converted my engines from B1 to tran's I had to have the center of the flywheel opened up so the coupler would lay flat.

Yes we all know the don't have a converter
