I just got a new 28oz balancer and it winds up that it needs a spacer when the company said it didnt. Anyways does anyone know what size the spacer is cause they make a couple different sizes. When I placed both balancers next to each other they are the same height. The only difference is that on the stock 50oz one the raised part where the 4 bolts go is taller. I dont really have anything good here to measure the difference so if anyone knows the size please let me know. Thanks cause I know this is a pain of a question.

On my 351w swap page I have a couple of links to Ford resources.
They should help you determine what spacer you need.

I would provide the links myself, but I can't access my site from work.


Let me know if that helps...

Here is the relevant passage...
http://www.freewebs.com/vristang/fox351wswapfaq.htm


Harmonic Damper-
Again this must be matched to the 28oz. counterweight of the 351w. Another consideration here is getting the crank pulley to line up with the rest of the serpentine belt system. Many aftermarket dampers will come with an appropriate spacer for this application. FRPP does have a damper available specifically for this application (Damper M-6316-C351, and spacer M-8510-A351 or -B351 or -C351)
Note:
Thanks to r.barn, whohas contributed the following links regarding the Ford spacers…
