I was piddling around with it yesterday and noticed the front motor bracket conflicts with the harmonic balancer. The harmonic balancer I have measures 8" diameter that came on my 350. What size should I be looking for?

Maybe the aftermarket bracket is a little bigger? Maybe it’s closer than I think?? 😀 | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,214 | The repro setup is exactly like the original, I have them both... Looking at my balancer's it looks like the drivers side would have enough room for your 8" balancer, but the passenger side would be close.

I’ll prob order a $50 6.75” off summit this morning so I can hopefully work on it this weekend. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | If you are using the 2 piece set with the bird legs, you can cut a little chunk out of the brackets. If you are using the horseshoe bracket I'm not sure of.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.
