lack of steel for lt1
lack of steel for lt1 i have been searching for a week straight all over the internet i can not find a stock stroke cast steel lt1 crank and i was told if i use a late model 350 1 pc seal i have to change the flywheel and balancer to the older style can someone help???
the late model 350 flexplate is the same as the LT1. I don't recall if the balancer bolt is the same, but IIRC the threads are the same at which point the balancer would bolt up just fine. If I'm not mistaken the crank from any 87+ SBC 1pc rear main will work just fine in an ltx engine. I may be wrong tho.

Not just any 350 is a LT1, if that is what you are asking. So if you are going to reuse your heads, the 350 you are looking at MUST be LT1, not vortec 350
Only thing I question is the snout length. but other then that it needs to be balanced like the LT1 which I know most 350's are not or it needs to be neutrally balanced which you typically give a machine shop the pistons, pins rods and bolts anyway so have them make sure the journals are right for the rods and you have to use a neutral balance flex/flywheel and the stock damper is neutrally balanced. Long story find a stock Nodular Iron crank from any LT1 LT4 except the mini LT1.
