Crank dampener/pulley

[firstofeight]

I want to replace the V pulley with a serpentine pulley. Will this change the dynamic balance ?

Thanks

Re: crank damper pulley

Generally if you change accessories you will not need to perform unique dynamic balancing of the assembly. However it sounds like you might be going to another type of harmonic balancer by converting to another set up. It should not be a problem since Balancers:shield: are usually balanced individually and not in conjunction with engine balancing.

For information,
In older threads we had talked about olds 455 pulleys on straight eight buicks..
If i remember right, that its also a topic on "jyrkis site"

Dampner/pulley

Where did you find that, Long? I thought I went through all his post. Guess not. I am thinking I want to change to a serpentine belt. Wondering if changing to a different pulley messes with the balance.

Presten has not been around for awhile.

Thanks

no, as long as the pulley is balanced it should be fine. I have a bunch of pix from Preston. its cool seeing what other guys come up with for solutions.

I would like too see the rest of Preston's pictures. Where are they? I have been unable to find them.

Thanks

Double groove pulley

I'll admit. I like that double grooved pulley ( pictured).

Where did you get it from ?

Seems like I read in one of the threads on here that buick made a double groove pulley that was used on a bus.
