I am putting a 351W in my fox right now and I needed to replace the stock harmonic balancer because it was 3 hole and my new March pulley kit required a four hole damper. I ordered one through Summit (SUM-163289 DAMPER OEM 289-351) for $68.

It worked great with the m-8510-b351 spacer you already bought.
