Fluidampr Ford 289, 302, 351 / 400 CID V8 External balance (w/ 28oz CW) Steel Balanced Damper

Fluidampr is known for their high-performance engine components, especially their viscous dampers that control torsional vibrations. This particular damper, part number 650211, is built for Ford 289, 302, 351, and 400 CID V8 engines that use an external balance with a 28oz counterweight. Installing a Fluidampr early, especially if you've made engine modifications, is a smart move to ensure better durability and protect your investment.

This damper uses a superior viscous design to manage harmful torsional vibrations across the entire RPM range, not just at a specific speed. This broad protection helps reduce wear on critical engine parts like your crankshaft, lowering the risk of failure. You might also notice improved timing accuracy and the potential to unleash some lost torque and horsepower that was being masked by excessive vibration. It's precision CNC machined from high-grade steel components and features a corrosion-resistant black zinc finish with clearly engraved timing marks. Plus, there's no maintenance required, making it a set-it-and-forget-it kind of part.

This damper is SFI 18.1 certified, meaning it meets stringent racing standards, and has been race-proven for over 35 years. It's a well-built component trusted by many engine builders. It fits a wide range of Ford vehicles, including many F-Series trucks, Broncos, and various car models from the 1960s through the mid-1990s. Because it's designed to control vibrations, it's a solid choice for both street-driven vehicles and those used in more demanding applications.
