is balancing this necessary
same crank, same rods, new 30 over pistons and rings. This is a 350 and I dont know if I should have it rebalanced or not. Seems like different pistons would throw off the balancing that the factory did. Am I wrong?

If the new pistons are close to the same weight as the old ones, like within 30 grams or so, then you can slap it together as is and it will be OK.
