Thanks guys!!!
Now, I just have to figure out whether the crank is cast or forged..... seems the 89 used both depending on when it was built!!!
Does the BHJ fit either one??? because the FORD book calls for different balancers...depending on which crank is in the motor....
Unfortunately, after e-mailing John at Silver state FORD a couple times with part numbers, VIN and 'stuff'.... I have the Rare Cast Crank, that is Externally balanced..... BHJ doesn't fit that one!!!!
Anyone have ANY idea what to do now....short of finding a forged crank and doing a rebiuld????
decided to use the 'stock' dorman balancer.... Fits perfect!! runs great!!
Thank you for all the help!! I went 'stock' because in talking to my favorite mechanic.... we don't have a machine shop in the area that he would trust to 'zero balance' anything!!! let alone a BHJ balancer, timing ring and pulley assembly......
Plus, I will probably only keep the SC about 2 more years.... Then my ranchero SHOULD be done!! I'll have more 'toys' than places to park them.... Plus 'Momma' already made her opinion on the matter known.....lol And we ALL know that if Momma isn't happy.....
