Check the pic.... Left is stock balancer, Right is a Romac, Middle is an Ford Motorsport. Why a 1" difference in height??? Does this require a 1" spacer or is it for another motor??

I'd guess a different application. Do the fox's have the same balancer as us?

Will the ford piece even fit or will it interfere with the timing coveR?

Pretty sure the middle one requires a spacer, I have seen them available.

Click to expand...

Both SN95 and Fox will swap... long as the balance is correct...The Romac in the pic is from a Fox.
This unit has made in austrailia marked on it.. To me it would appear you'd bottom out on the timing cover when installing. a spacer would work on the pulley side for sure. I'm wondering if its for a 351 ???
