47-55.1 What's going wrong inside my 350?

Throw out that balancer!!! DransportGarage is 100% correct. When the rubber bond is broken the inertia ring is a disaster waiting for opportunity.

Rotating objects store massive amounts of energy. I've seen pieces of 3-1/2" cutting wheels take out face shields. I've seen 7" paper sanding discs being misused and crack windshields. I've seen CS144 alternator rotors take out hoods, radiators, and air cleaners before coming out the bottom of the vehicle. I've seen flexplates separate engines from transmissions. If a person has only one rule for safety, I believe it should be "Don't f*ck with spinny sh!t."

You should also look at renting a balancer installer when it is time to reassemble.
