SFI harmonic balancer for small blocks

[moparlee]

Those that are running SFI's of any brand are you having to modify the timing cover to make them work?

Thanks in advance.

ATI SuperDamper have them on different small blocks , no timing case cover mods needed

I'm running a Romac SFI balancer on my LA 360/408 & I'll be running the same one on my new LA 360/416. Good balancer, reasonable price.

I think the one on my 408 was a Romac and the one on my 434 is a Innovators West. Never had to do anything to the cover.

Romac on mine. No mods.

Fluidampr no mods

 

[360duster]

got one from powerbond.....no mods necessary.

 

[moparstud440]

I have the Pro Race Pro Sport on 2 of my engines and haven't had any issues.

 

[furrystump]

Trick flow, no mods, wait, to fit or timing marks?

Romac here aswell no issues

 

[QuickDart360]

Got a powerbond for my 360 and fit fine no issues. Considered also Romac but cost was the deciding factor. Both are excellent.

Thanks guys there was a post elsewhere....where guy showed a video of someone modifying their timing cover so it would work....I'm sure my opinion isn't worth typing. But...you guys have confirmed what I thought about there being plenty of options out there to not have to do that.


Thanks again for everybodies time.

The PRW SFI one I bought, fit my magnum timing cover with out any grinding

 

[justinp61]

Both dampers that I have had to have the ID honed to get the correct fit. But as mentioned no interference with the timing cover.

Is your Romac polished ? How the hell can you see the timing marks ? I should have painted mine black or engine color!

 

[Demonracer]

I painted mine black & then painted the timing mark area white & lightly sanded off the white to see the numbers & then clear coated it. But then again, mine is on a race car where I can take the glass hood & front clip off which makes things much easier.

Romac has an (SA ) alloy cover option .

 

[Locomotion]

I believe if you get a big block balancer installed on a small block, it will interfere quite a bit with the cast-in timing cover tab.

Personally, I've used Pioneer SFI balancers on my small blocks for many years with no problems. I believe Summit and/or Jegs may have/had them under their labels. Not sure on the current status.

Cover ? Do the pulley bolts hold it in place ?

Why they produce them in a shiny finish is beyond me !
