Harmonic Balancer question for X Trooper Mustang

89FHPLX · 08-20-2001, 02:33 PM

OK... I have a 89 lx with 147k on it. This is the secound Balancer I need to change in this car. My mods is what you see below. The secound balancer i got it at a junk yard. Yeah I was cheap then but I was out of work. Well It lasted for 2 years and now I need one. I cannot afford more than $200. So here is my question...CAN I USE A NEW FORD BALANCER OR BUY A FLUIDAMPER? I will be adding in the future a E303 cam, Intake, heads. Will a new ford damper work? I dont drag race the car but once in a while a might go to the track. Im a daily driver. last run i did at the track was 13.80 with not so good street tires.

If I were you I would but a good balancer and one that is sfi approved. Fluidamper is kind of expensive and I have no experience with them so I can't say one way or the other. I got mine from brent fraizer and I think he gets them from probe but I only paid like 170 for it and it does not have that rubber peice to go bad and come out.
