OK I have an Eagle all forged kit. The crank is internally balanced. I've done a search and made the decision to go with a '0' (int) balancer. Anybody want to name some good balancers and the best place to find them? As always cost is always a factor, I'm trying to not spend $400 on one if I don't have to.
Thanks guys...PB

I like my Professional Products balancer, but it's for a regular imbalance engine. Dunno if they make one for a zero balance motor, but they're good for the price.

Pioneer is cost effective (under $200) yet works great. I'm having one put on my 331 which is internally balanced.

DO NOT use the professional products balancers, they are balanced like crap, and you may have trouble with the timing.

Use an ATI or a FMS, they are the best.

ATI has already been stated, otherwise look at Romac/Powerbond or try Innovators West.

I have a Pro-Race SFI balancer. It's a nice piece, probably comparable to to the Ford Racing one.

Go with a Pro Products balancer, I have one on my 325. They are great and cost next to nothing and timing is accurate!
