Ahh, I was looking at a different converter. Australia should move closer and become a part of the world economy!
Before i yank the 288 out i'll measure how much clearance i have to the upside down U piece and anything in the way from the balancer.
Since the other motor will be on a stand and the 288 out, it should be no problem to mix and match parts and take measurements. I do have a new spare 50 water pump because the one on the 288 now is about to go.
If i can run the two thin belts and have a chance to use accessories, so be it and i'll try AC. If not, no big loss, as the other toys have it and it wasn't miserable without it, i just wanted to do it for the technical accomplishment (and so the better half would want to take it out more in the summer :) )

But I'm thinking that you'll have to at least use a 288/327 5 main balancer on your 327 9 main
Isn't the balancer on the car now a 288 5 main balancer? If neither works of course i'll turn to your spare parts cache first to purchase one. I'm a week from getting the 327 on the stand and longer before swapping motors because i'm working on a Pontiac 428 for the tempest at the same time. Thankfully the shop is heated, i have too much to do to wait for spring to come so i can get started!
