It looks like they do harmonic balancer rebuilds. https://www.larrystbird.com/product/p-6312b-crankshaft-balancer-rebuilt-plus-200-core-fee-1955-1956-ford-passenger-cars-p-6312b/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

geraldchainsaw 27 Report post Posted November 13, 2020 to midlife & mike65, damperdudes have a harmonic balancer that looks just like what io have, is it possible that a 292 and a 312 would be interchangeable, almost the same eng except for the CI,. i would imagaine they could be the same block, i'll call and get some dimentions from damperdudes, or maybe either of you guys will know, its sure alot cheaper then getting one rebuilt thanks jerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
