Hi,
What is everyone doing for a harmonic balancer on their 383 stroker engines? I assume that since our engines our internally balanced that a stock one is OK and aftermarket (SFI 18.1) brands are better. I thought would double check with people who have built stroker engines. This should be the last part I need to but to complete my stroker project. But we all know something will come up so this is my next to the last part I need to buy!

 

When Nu-tek did my motor they reused the stock balancer. The motor has 24k and not a single issue with it.

 

As long as its in good shape, Mines been fine .

 

Thanks for the quick replies. Good to hear the stock damper works! I left the keys in my crank since I was going to buy aftermarket thinking it would do a better job of canceling bad vibes. Since this is my fair weather street only car (for now) after market might be overkill. But I will save the hassle of removing the keys from the crank inside the front timing cover & seal.

 

I bought an ATI Superdamper just for piece of mind. As far as will the stock one be ok- probably. However, after sinking a bunch of money in my motor, I wanted to leave no stone unturned.
