At one time I thought that too kevin. But in looking at some pics and two official FoMoCo publications the same part # is indicated for the 390 balancer as the 406 and the 352HP too.
But real world application means a lot more than what Ford books say.
At one time I assumed the '62 406 ran with the same balancer as the '60/'61early '62 HP apps. Then the '63 406 got the C2AE "427 style" damper. Again that was an assumption.
The casting # provided is defintely the one extra I have which came off of a '61 HP. And again the books I have show the same part # for 352-390-406 HP apps.
Okay, I went and got three publications that show clearly the early style HP balancer on 406s.
First, Vol 62, PSM 143, the complete parts list for the '62-'63 406. The engine is a tri power with the longer C2Ae exhaust manifolds but it has the exact same harmonic balancer as the one described by Wayne.
Second, A Ford publication, High Performance Parts, Volume 65 PSM 59. On p. 27 it shows very clearly two 406s, one a 4V and one the 6V. The 4V has the shorty exhaust and the tri power has the long style HP manifolds. Both have the exact same balancers which look identical to my '60 HP(which does have a COAE casting #) and the '61HP I have with the C1AE #.
Third, Hot Rod Ford Performance handbook, 1962, shows what appears to be a tri power 406 on the cover. It has the long C2AE- exhaust and the balancer? Yup, the unique large with numerous holes and a single groove pulley.
That Ford '65 publication does show the C2AE-6316-B (Identification number) to have a part # of C3AZ-6312-F.
As alway, just contributing what I can with as much documentation as I can but I'm always looking to learn more. |
