I would use a blower specific balancer to help the crankshaft live if I was building another crank driven blower motor EDIT. Mkae sure you have the crank cut for two keys, same thing on the balancers or hubs Last edited by Cab_Burge; 08/18/13 09:16 PM. Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

After that,went with a damper and shortened the blower snout about an inch to minimize the amount of spacer needed for pulley alignment. 7819152-4.28.11(2).jpg (44 downloads) HEMI-ITIS has no cure.

When you ran the hubs, did you have one or two keyways? You should have two, to prevent spinning. That goes for dampers, too. Gone to the dark side with an LS3 powered '57 Chevy 210
