pre 86 block 89 serpentine

My friend is putting a goodwrench 350 in his 89 with a serpentine setup will the 6 3/4 or 8" balancer for a pre 86 350 bolt to the crank pulley of a 89 l98? Is there anything else that will be a problem when bolting up the serpentine assembly

Yes it will all bolt up.

All the same holes have been in the front of a SBC block since 1955.

There may be a bolt hole or 2 missing in the heads, however.

The Goodwrench engine (typical 350 replacement, anyway) doesn't have Vortec heads.

The Vortec heads have the needed holes.

All 350's are internal balance.

'86-later SBC's have one-piece rear main seal, but that doesn't make them external balance.
