I am seeing crank and water pump pulleys priced from $120 for new reproductions to $230 for Mopar performance reproductions? Anyone out there with experience with these? Are the mopar performance that much better or are they from the same manufacturer? Any help appreciated.

Mopar Performance parts cost you a PREMIUM for the name.



Do you have the correct balancer or are you using the THIN balancer , what year car are you working with ?

So they are all the same? I have a 528 crate motor so I am not using a stock balancer. Do I need the spacer? Thanks

Which harmonic balancer do you have on it? They came in 2 different widths originally.

Its the MP Ray Barton built 528 crate hemi. Yes I am wanting to keep it as stock looking as I can. Not trying to be exact and clone the car.

Put your glasses away. This should be easy to clarify.

It should either look like its about an inch thick or if it's the other, then it loks like it's almost 2 inches thick.

Look at this one. It's the thicker version. Might not be the right one but just showing the width.
