Does anyone here know if the Oldsmobile 350 diesel is internally balanced or externally balanced??? I need know for sure.Thanks!

Not certain I understand your question...

However if you are asking whether the Olds 350 diesel uses an internal balance shaft the answer is no.

I'm going to put it in a 560 I was just wondering
if I would have to have the machine shop balance the crankshaft and flywheel together?
Does the 560 flywheel have a zero balance?

Thats one sweet ride!!

The Olds 350 diesel used a weighted damper AND a weighted flywheel/flexplate.

I've been told that a cast iron IH flywheel will be unsafe at RPMs over 3000.

Its going to run stock rpm's

Yes be sure to not run too many rpms as the flywheels will blow. Stock rpm shouldnt be any problem

Bob, what he"s referring to here is whether the crankshaft and rotating assembly are balanced internally(like a 350 Chevy) or if there is additional counterweights on the harmonic dampner and flywheel/flexplate(like on a 400 Chevy).
