Does anyone sell a black one of these?

No, but you can have it anodized any color you like.

Are the mustang pulleys the same size?

Damperdudes have rebalanced explorer dampers for early 302 and 351w .. the driven adapter pulley is hit or miss if you have noises/chirpy belt..

No. The only 2 ways of doing the Explorer is either with an Explorer damper (and have it rebalanced to the old factor) or use the aluminum conversion pulley on the old style 3-bolt crank damper.

I have heard of wear issues with aluminum, but I think that is higher mileage than most people are doing these days. A motorcycle friend was telling me about hard anodizing a rare out of production aftermarket aluminum pulley he got to prevent/minimize wear.

Argh, I have a balanced rotating kit that came with brand new damper, so just trying to get the right pulley.

I suppose aluminum isn't the end of world, especially if they'll anodize in black to match the rest of the stock Explorer stuff after paint.

Is your damper a three bolt pulley style? The Explorer adapter pulley fits the three bolt balancer. Another option would be to send your balanced damper to DamperDudes. Have them balance an Explorer balancer to your damper specs.

Thought it was the old style three bolt, but it's a four bolt like the mustangs.

Get an Explorer damper and have the balance matched to the one with the kit.
