Harmonic Balancer/Dampner Question for 383 Stroker

My lt1 was stroked out to a 383 and when the crank was put in my engine shop internally balanced the crankshaft. I got my stock harmonic balancer/dampner still and was wondering what id need to buy for everything to be balanced out correctly.
thanks

The damper is just that, damper which "dampens" harmonic vibrations. There is no heavy side. The stock LT1 from the factory was internally balanced in the front and externally in the back. If your rotating assembly is all internally balanced then you can use your stock damper and then you will have to have a flywheel/flexplate zero or neutral balanced.

I am assuming you won't be turning the engine over 7000 RPM? If not, use the stock one if it's still in good condition. And it's a damper. Not a balancer.
