Default Factory machining

I just for the second time watched the video titled “ 455 casting and machining in production of 1970” and I was very impressed by a fact that I missed the first time watching it,
Pontiac during production did a ruff balance of the crank and then once the short block was assembled they spun it up to do the final balance.
This was done to a tolerance of 1/2” ounce which is to me amazing since the average balance job done by a machine shop is 3” once ,

Does anyone know what the other GM divisions did and used in there balancing jobs?
