I've explained how I do it, posted pictures, and even took an almost-complete setup to the homecoming last spring, including two groove pulleys for both the balancer and a larger-diameter pulley for the pump that solves the pump overspeeding problem when using the pump conversion plate with a late-model 235 passenger car balancer and the high-mount water pump. No bites! I'm just a tired old man these days. The nice thing about beating one's head against a wall is that it feels so good when you stop. I've had enough ridicule and moderator abuse to last me several lifetimes.

I'll search the SB site and see what I can learn from your previous posts on the subject. Get some rest, we need your expertise on the Stovebolt web site! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 235 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 235 | I was going to ask jerry personally about the balancer but I feel like I've bothered him so much already I was trying to not bother him anymore (at least not with something I thought would be easy).
I've never had anything but respect for him and appreciate all his help on my engine.
I'd love to know what his solution is - if you find it let me know.
OR jerry, if you could pm me I'd love to hear it.
As for eBay, I must be blind, I haven't found them yet!

I'm not too impressed by that process, as the rubber isolator between the two parts of the balancer carries the torque load of pulling the belts. My method uses a 6" diameter balancer for a 283 V8 and a 2-groove pulley for a big block V8 is installed backwards to its normal position. Some very basic machining is done to the balancer hub, same as the 250 gets. With that setup the balancer ring is free to move independently, and the pulley is driven by the 3 bolts that would usually be used to attach a puller.
