that great but would you just bolt one on ? if he added to it then there a good bet that it will not work to good with out any work to it . i have run a bal. machines and you would be better using the right wheel . for the 454 if you are not going to take it all apart to bal .you can rebalance it and put heavy metal$$$$$ in the back counterweight you can run any internal fly wheel or buy a new crank that as more counterweight to run a internal damper and fly wheel
