One problem I had with aftermarket balancers was they wont fit the crankshaft snout. 2 in a row, balanced, would not go on a stock ford crank. OEM ford would. Be careful out here. Damper dudes did do fine by me btw.

BTW, if you are having your rotating assembly balanced, they will balance the damper as well, so, just saying.

I didn't think it was that hard to find, on their front page it is number 1 on the list of their best sellers on the right.

Didn't see that when I was there.
I only saw the Ford items link.
Tried using Explorer as a search filter.

The link above, that I found here, takes you right to it. For the less savy,

You have stronger Googlefoo than I, my friend,

IME most balance shops don't handle the oz. imbalance conversion very well.

you have to call them to rebalance yours.
When I called them they didn't want to do it. They only wanted to sell me one of theirs. The rational at the time was that by the time I paid to ship mine to them, they re-balanced it, and then shipped it back to me that I would have spent more than just buying one of theirs. As I recall the cost of shipping at the time plus the re-balance cost supported this. No idea about now.

When I did it March 30th. It cost $65 with shipping. I'm in Socal so shipping was probably less. Plus the guy I tslked to was from Huntington Beach. So we got along.

You can also use a stock bronco balancer and the driven auto pully. Even if you are using a 351. Yes the timing marks will be off and you wont be aboe to se them under water pump neck but all you have to do is put both balancers on top of one another and line up the keyways. Then scribe a mark on the bronco balancer where zero is on the 351 balancer and then use a timing tape to put marks on the balancer for timing.

Only works if you are running mustang injection. To run the explorer edis injection you need the trigger wheel on the balancer.
