C.A.T. Fluiddamper?

[SWED67barracuda]

HI. Have you any experience or info on these harmonic balancers , Very low priced. C.A.T # HBF 318 . I saw something on a ford page and they mostly said Crap .

I ran that same Fluid Damper for years on a circle track car and never had any problem.

I got one in chrome, looks great. Fit and finish is A1 (tight as F on the crank snout though) get the 135 ft/lb torque wrench out. Its a heavy **** and thick as a phone book. They say the intertia ring 'floats' so its not really rotational weight...Yeah, OK.

I got one with a 340 i bought ,and yes.it seems to be a very tight fit in the crank. Guess it's ok to use then. Thanks for input

I bought a CAT Mopar flywheel that was drilled incorrectly... never again. BTW... CAT became ProComp which is now Speedmaster. They are trying to hide their past failures.

Didnt know that....Catpep is still in Chino, Procomp is straight outta Compton. Speedmaster is in Rialto...? I think Catpep still makes alot of stuff that is rebranded with anyones logo. But they still have an AOL email address? Holy smoke signals Batman!

Take a peek at this thread from Speedtalk... it's about Speedmaster aluminum blocks but also talks about ProComp/Speedmaster parts. These guys are mostly engine builders and racers. They know of what they speak.
