To the best of my knowledge, the harmonic balancers are not interchangable. When I was putting my 401 together I had a couple of balancers and did not know for sure which one to use. I contacted Andre Jacobs at South Texas AMC (San Antonio) to find out which one to use. If I remember correctly, it has something to do with the way the crank is balanced. The 401 balancer will have a 4 hole bolt patern for the bottom pulley.

Good luck with the rebuild
