I had one made up to add a pulley for a 4-71 on my stock balancer. I can provide measurements if you like or have him make another on. Uses all three bolts in the damper and sits flat against a double V setup. Can be made for single V too. Chuck  thanks for the help, my motor is a 292 with the forged crank, I was going to make one as I have full machining facilities at hand, I was a little concerned about the crank nose being only 1.250", I intend to run dual vee belts, I have some aluminum blanks so can make the pulleys. I'm using an aluminium timing cover.

Heres my hub very much similar to Moonshadows . Uses one of John Mummerts steel dampers. adapter is a snug fit to ID of damper. I added 4 more mount bolt holes to total of 6. [ kind of overkill I guess] 2" register to accept different pulley types..Im going to use V-belts for first attempt. .As Moonshadow offered I can send copy of my print.also . Regards Thundercat Thanks thundercat but I can't seem to open your pictures ???

Guys on my 514ci Cadillac I have an 8/71 and did away with the balancer completely and made this hub and added a double keyway, had the complete rotating assembly rebalanced, is it not feasible to do it this way on the Y block ???

I just found your PM and replied. These are some pictures of my future set up. The body shop is when I picked it up at Bill Myrands after he repaired and painted it for me. Super slick! Chuck   Neat setup Chuck.

By the definition of the word, of course it is feasible but I don't think it is a good idea to remove the damper (balancer) on any engine, let alone a blown engine that should make some pretty good power. I'll let one of the experts get more specific about it. Innovators west make a nice damper which is set up with a 4 bolt small block Ford pulley bolt pattern. That should provide some off-the-shelf options and perhaps provide a more robust mounting point for a blower pulley.

Its quite common to do away with the balancer on blown motors as the belt evens everything out, my 8/71 blown Cadillac makes 1050bhp and is as smooth as silk. I can't use a SBF hub as the crank nose is bigger diameter.

The damper is for a Y block and fits a Y block crank but uses the SBF pulley bolt pattern. http://www.innovatorswest.com/220-SBF-Damper.html

Wanted to add I also have a set of 2V pulleys that fit the blower pattern. One is about 5.5" and the other is about 6.5". I f clearance is a problem I can run them. Would look more old style and I could still get either a small under or over drive. Not to mention a bit more nostalgic. Chuck
