i'm thinking the same thing! first off, the front dress of the '93 motors and the 94-95 motors is different (water pump, timing cover, front accessories, brackets). if u haven't already u need to transfer over the 94-95 timing and water pump to the 347. as far as your other problem of the balancer hitting the timing cover i dont really understand what problem your having.

i have the 94 water pump cover and water pump on the motor, but when i intall the balancer all the way on it is rubbing the timing cover, this is the 94 timing cover

you might need a spacer to make it work

 

[darrellk]

were can i get a spacer, and i have looked know one makes a diffrent balancer for 94-95, they all say they are just for 302, because it has to be 28 ounce bal.for 347

they are the same I put in a liquid filled balancer I had to grind a little from the water pump to clear it just a tad it depends on the manufacture

That makes sense!

thanks guys

FordTech's info is what I've seen folks post before. It should not take much clearancing (if it looks like it will, double check on here because something else might not be right).

Good luck.
