Not as is.

The 305 crank has different balancing features than the 350, even though
it's the same casting numbers...I believe it's lightened more...I don't
recall though.

But, as with any rotating assembly, unless you are using the same
rods/crank/pistons parts that were a match at one time, you should have
things balanced again

oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
