Seems the front crank journal and crank timing gear would affect the depth of the balancer rather than the length of the snub- I believe the balancer sleeve buts up against the face of the gear. That being said, I assume the short appearing crank snub is an optical illusion as it’s a factory 455 crankshaft. If so, the balancer dimensions may be off.
