Just an update:
I spoke with the original owner. He did not remember the new replacement engine coming with a harmonic balancer. He contacted his mechanic who did the engine exchange, and he did not remember the job. So I am 90% sure they used the balancer from the 230 engine on the 292.
Also, every balancer I see for a 292, as Joe stated above, is bigger with 2 to 3 belt grooves. The one on the engine is thin and only has one groove. Others have stated that the 292 came with the 2 groove balancer even if you only needed one belt groove.
Hope this helps anyone else who runs into a similar situation.
Regards... Russ
