My '42 Chevy pickup build

[LUCKY DEVIL 13]

So what did ya do about the balancer? Like the grill.

Gonna have to grind down a couple of the fins on the timing cover just gotta get the puller so I can get the balancer off

Thanx I am still gonna add a lil detail to the teeth yet so it's not totally finished yet

If it's a late model balancer, thats probably a problem.
Most of the 283 and 327 Chevys and old Small Blocks had a thin 6" balancer.
By the 70's they had thicker 8" balancers.

Yeah it's a 70's block but it's not the stock balancer so I will have togrind down a couple of the fins behind it for clearence which isn't a real big deal since the timing cover will prolly never come off this motor anyway
