Default bad crank vibration

I just dropped a 347 stroker motor into my 88 notchback. I worked out all the bugs accept there is a bad crank vibration. Do I have to pull the motor apart and rebalance it or is there anything else that I can do? Will a harmonic balancer solve the problem?

check the rubber in the balance...get a timing light and watch the timing....don't waste much time in getting a new one
