I've heard that the big block balancers will also work on a slant. Any truth to this? If yes, has anyone used one of the high performance units from places like 440Source?

Just curiosity really. I see no need to change out the balancer on my engine since it won't see high RPMs.

Since the nose of the crank is the same between slants and big blocks the big block damper will fit, but it sticks out too far and doesn't have a groove for the belt. Since I have access to a lathe I could fix both these issues, but trouble finding a decent damper at a good price and factoring in my time I just bought a new Aussie damper.

Interesting. I'm hoping the damper on the '66 engine I'm putting in isn't worn (guess I'll find out when I verify TDC), but if it is I'll have to look for a new one. You get the Aussie one from Pentastar?

I got mine from EBay seller falconglobal. He's got one listed for $125 and change under item number 190254995216 and free shipping.
