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?
