Okay, this isn't very cool. I was putting another cam in the engine and found this
BlownChevy, Parish, anyone who has spun a balancer can I just pin this and be on my way? I am thinking I can.
well at least I am putting some power down

I was just going to use the maganacharger crank pinning kit for 'Vettes. It looks like it would help. I can find a pic of it later, but it puts two metal dowels coming from the front of the engine in between the balancer and the crank.
Would that fix the spin? I am thinking so. Or do I need a new crankshaft? I don't think I would since those pins would pretty much stop the crank from spinning in the balancer.
Oh ya, I can pin it with the engine still in.
Cam: nothing huge, but it has good off the shelf specs for sc boost.
Comp Cams: 212/218 .558/.563 115 lsa 115 icl (i'm advancing it 4* to get better dynamic compression) ...should be pretty sweet. Except I can't floor it until I pin this crank

You might be able to sleeve it, and machine the pulley. I've heard of it being done for other types vehicles. Not worth though IMO. Key-ing it is how it should've been done from the factory, and especially in your case since your SC. Good luck and keep us posted!
