Re: W31 Rallye 350

My harmonic balencer looks just like that, there is the groove and the front lip thickness is  3/8" and the back thickness is  5/8" thick.  Is that the same as what you have pictured here?  Steven

What does the big balancer look like? I bought a 70 350 off eBay a year or
so back and it has a weird looking balancer that has a 3/4" "lip" that
extends beyond the pulley, is this a W-31 balancer?
Is there any other way to identify a W-31 engine?
