Ford Harmonic Balancer Damper 351W 50 oz?

[nitequill]

hello guys im looking for a new Harmonic Balancer Damper for my 351W but im not sure which is best for my application (daily driver that can haul ass) ...... what should i go with the 28oz or 50oz? and what does this mean?

Your crank shaft has an imbalance built into it. It is FIXED and you must use a corresponding damper that will correct that imbalance. 351W have 28 oz. imbalance and must be corrected by ALWAYS using a 28 oz balancer and flywheel. Never mix different imbalance cranks, damper or flywheels.

No Sweat. We won't mention all the mistakes I've made .... At least you had the good sense to ask.

What about a 66 mustang with a 302 and a C4? I was told that uses a 28oz as well

It really depends on what year the 302 is.

The biggest V8 Mustang engine available in 1966 was a 289, so a 302 is not stock in it.

302's up until 81' were all 28 oz imbalance. From 82' on they went to 50oz.

I think that's actually 81' when they switched to 50oz.

Oops, mental typo. I corrected the dates. Thanks.
