Fluidampr Ford 302 HO (5.0L) V8 External balance (w/ 34oz CW) Steel Balanced Damper

The Fluidampr harmonic damper is precision CNC machined from high-grade steel, featuring a black zinc corrosion-resistant finish with engraved timing marks. This damper is specifically designed for Ford 302 HO (5.0L) V8 engines with an external balance requiring a 34oz counterweight on the damper itself, working in conjunction with a 16oz counterweight on the flywheel for a total of 50oz external balance. It's built to protect your engine by controlling harmful torsional vibrations across the entire RPM range, which can reduce wear on critical engine components like the crankshaft and prevent potential failures. This is especially important if you've made modifications that might compromise the stock harmonic balancer's effectiveness.

Unlike stock units that might only address specific RPM ranges, the Fluidampr's superior viscous damper design offers broad protection. This improved vibration control can lead to more consistent engine timing, potentially unleashing lost torque and horsepower that were previously masked by engine shake. It's a no-maintenance part, trusted by engine builders for its superior durability and race-proven performance for over 35 years. It meets the SFI 18.1 specification, making it suitable for demanding applications.

This damper is a direct fit for your 1984-1985 Ford LTD and also fits 1991-1992 Ford Thunderbirds. It weighs 13.6 lbs and has a diameter of 6-5/8 inches. When installing, refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper balancing and timing mark alignment to ensure optimal performance and engine protection.
