This is all it takes, threaded rod some washers and some nuts. Bill Curley made one from his old stock balancer bolt and an SAE threaded rod. You can probably find a photo of his with search.

This is EXACTLY what I have used on "regular" SBCs for years. The LS series engines have metric threaded cranks, metric threaded rod wasn't as easily sourced for me, so I simply bought the Hawk installation tool. Either method will properly do the job.

I borrowed one from the shop that will be tuning my car. It was his home made one from a ford Windstar upper control arm bolt from mid 90's. Worked like a champ. I could not locate threaded rod or a bolt long enough locally and needed it done. Will probably invest in a nice master kit that will do all of them one day.

Not close enough. I tried speed shops with in 25 miles, parts stores, hardware stores and any kind of shops that might have it with no joy. I would have made my own but same as above. I would have went to junk yard and got bolt had I known yesterday. I could offer online but don't have days to wait or want to pay $$ for next day shipping.
