Sounds like a standard 1968-later type damper.

By Dave Shoe - 03/30/2003 9:52:18 PM; IP 216.243.176.34

If the damper's inertia ring is 1.50" wide and a single groove pulley is integrally cast into the hub, then it's a performance damper.

The one you are viewing, however, is the 1.10" wide damper, common to all FEs since 1968, except the 427 and SCJ.

Every FE damper ever made by Ford is neutrally balanced, even on the SCJ. The SCJ did get a unique crank spacer which had a counterweight cast into it to prodive an external balance up front, but the damper was still neutrally balanced.

I'm thinking you may have found a 360FE from a pickup truck or a 390 FE from either a car or pickup. The two barrel sorta gives it away.
