Vibration damper question
One item in my 400 engine build that's confusing me is the damper. I've been looking at the various Fluidampr models, and I'm not sure which one is best for my application. The 400 has an internally balanced crank, so I don't need to worry about external balance models. Will the smaller 6.75" damper be sufficient, or do I need the larger 7.25" version?

The larger the better the dampner.

Caution now as GM & Fluidampner do make a dampner for the 400" externally balanced mtr, but this would now unbalance an internaly balanced mtr - so u must verify what u have.
Hope this answers ur question.
BTW i bought the Streetdampner to save a few bucks and had to paint it myself. Took a few tries to get the timing marks highlighted in white.
