I just ordered 2 of these motors for my projects this afternoon, heading for the junk yard soon looking for explorer setup.

Just doing this myself and looking at old threads. Does anyone know if the balancer that comes on the 306/365 (pictured)work with the Pulley from WH? I had this in another post but thought I would ask here since you guys have done this. Also what are you guys doing with the dipstick location?

I got the set up from Sandman, I bought the timing cover from WH. The balancer needs to come off for the timing cover install correct?

WH Pulley ?

Thanks.....The counter balance pulley? Not sure I have a ton of left over nuts and bolts but we have a local bolt and nut store has everything I’ve ever needed and it’s three in that pulley.

The stock explorer balancer is 50oz and can be found at any junkyard for next to nothing. One thing to remember is using the explorer setup will require you swapping the timing cover, but it is worth the effort.

Just a heads up the WH pulley will fit around the white plastic spacer on the blueprint counterbalance to keep it centered. It’s really tight but it will fit.
