428 Damper?

By McQ - 03/04/2004 10:50:56 PM; IP 65.176.105.152

I'd like some advice, opinions, or links to information about a high quality damper-harmonic balancer for a 428 I have in progress.

Here's where I'm at with this project: .030 over C6ME 391-428 block, cross bolted with '27 caps, oil passage improvements, align bored(a must with the cross bolt caps) prepped for hydraulics or solids, C7AE-B rods with ARP bolts, 428 crank. I'm in the process of choosing pistons(they'll be forged) and a new damper. It will be balanced with both a NOS 428 flexplate and a new 428 flywheel. I want it ready for automatic or stick. I'm getting the basic short block done by my FE machinist, Dick Flynn. He likes Fluid Damper. But it's my choice.

I don't want an old 428CJ or 360 truck damper. I want a new one. There are two available on eBay right now.

Here's one:

Here's another:

I also have an ad from Super Ford, May, 1992, featuring a FE Dampener offered by Cobra Restorations LTD. in Kennesaw, GA, that looks very similar to a stock FoMoCo 427 damper. It would be nice to find one of those.

Thanks in advance for advice. I'm leaning to the nodular iron "Pro Damper" #2463066258 but I'm open to suggestions.
