RE: balancing a 5.0 worth it
****, Milwaukee's Best Light is 5.9%...cheap as dirt too! Not the best beer in the world but it'll get you drunk!
I'm getting the balacing portion done to my 347 stroker. It WAS balanced with a used harmonic balancer and auto flywheel but I'm getting a CAT fluid damper and billet flywheel. Since I know the weights of the rods and pistons it's only costing me $100 to balance the crank with the new flywheel and balancer. You can double that and then some for a complete balance. Around $250-300.

a non-balanced engine can just beat everything to death.

A properly balanced and blue printed engine will make more power than a non-balanced engine. Period.
