The mysteries behind engine balancing?

Anytime you change the combination inside an engine it should be balanced. Will it blow up if you don't? Could be. A quote from 69 CUDA 440

Stock Piston Weight (273/318/340/360)
Stock 'Cast' Piston Weight Measurements

* 273 (2-Barrel).........530 Grams
* 273 'Commando'......569 Grams
* 318......................592 Grams
* 340......................719 Grams
* 360......................584 Grams

Thanks T-M-R,

For the 'Street/Strip' Engines.

No big deal between the 273 '2-Barrel', 273 'Commando' and 318 'LA Engine'.

That 'Forged Crankshaft' won't know the difference between the Pistons and
Connecting-Rods.
