Hi, Glen.
I'm confused on what you say.
ALL rotating assemblies should be balanced, in balance so to speak, in a crank balancer shop using bob-- weights etc.
A 302 crank can be one of three (if you disconcern any oddities) either (OE Ford or aftermarket) externally balanced on either 28 or 50 OZ (that's 2)
OR internally balanced 0 counterweight/ neutral (aftermarket/ Ford racing)
(3. possibility).
Wait a second- my memory seems to be dim... I am not sure; if you have an externally balanced crank: Can you switch between 50 and 28 oz imballance damper/ flywheel (in a pair, ofcourse) without issues?
I've read on this topic earlier, but conclusion I do not remember.
If you have a factory Ford crank, it will need the counterweights in balancer and flywheel. Eventually the rotating assembly, even if stock parts are used, SHOULD BE be taken to a shop for balancing. (Or don't do so and hope for the best- lots have done, and mostly with luck, as I have seen.)
