Can I use a flexplate and a 28oz balancer off a 351 on a late model 302? The balancer and flex match but will it throw the motor off balance??

Thanks
Tim

I would have to say as a general rule. All the 5.0 rollers that I have dealt with have been a 50 ounce imbalance, unless it was stroked. Then all bets are off.
