I have a brand new GM balancer with a 352 code stamped on the front face and it appears that it replaces OEM Number: 12551537. I bought this for my 454, but after doing some web searches, it looks like it is made specifically for small blocks. Can someone verify that for me? If it is for a small block, I will be selling it. :wink:

I don't have any inside calipers, but a crude measurement looks like 1 9/16" I.D.
I bought this several years ago and cannot recall which supplier I bought it from, i.e. part# or stock#, but I'm sure I verified it was for a 454 engine.

I posted as a response to that.
Appears it's not a replacement for 12551537.
Does it have the external balance hump on the inside?

Thanks a bunch! I lookeed at that small block damper on the link and mine is obviously a heavier duty one as it is solid to the bore with 3 bolt holes for the pully and (3) 1/2" smooth holes between those.
Thanks again.

Don't go by pics on the parts sites -they use "1 sizes fits all' for their pics.

yes they do. much easier then actually keeping track of and posting the right pics. ebay vendors are great for this. often show small block Chevy pics for nearly all engine parts.

lesson learned, thanks. I'm still not sure why the site stated that the "352" balancer I have replaces an OEM small block balancer..... that is obviously not the case.
