We don't know which crank it has, but I think putting on a balancer won't hurt.  Be aware that if you do, you'll also need the FC rear engine bracket for a '64/'65.

Whomever put it together seemed to have a pretty good idea what they were doing.  It runs pretty well now that I have matching carbs on it (secondaries are blocked).  I'm still chasing a charging system problem but here is my question.  This engine has a solid crank pulley.  Should it have a harmonic balancer?  I don't know anything else about the engine internals.
