what is the bob weight on a stock 86 302 crankshaft. I need to know this so that when i buy my pistons that i dont get some to heavy and excede the bob weight and have to add heavy metal when i have it balanced.

every set of pistons rods w/e are a few grams off from factory, cant tell you exactly what yours are, you should have the crank balanced no matter what, balance is off from factory a bit anyway

also it doesent matter if your bob wieght is heavier or lighter than stock was, you can shave/drill metal out or press heavy metal in to balance in either situation

i know that, but if the pistons i get are heavy and can surpass the bob weight they will have to add heavy metal which gets expensive. so it would be worth it to buy a little more expensive piston if it is lighter and would keep me from surpassing the bob weight

and im haveing the whole assembly balanced.

Just take it from the pads on the rod and piston
