harmonic balancer

So Im about 2 weeks away from having my 396 lt1 put into my 97 Z28. I just lowered the old motor and trans and was going over a few things that I need to take off the old motor, clean, paint and put onto the my new one. So onto my question I need a new harmonic balancer, my motor is from Golen motor works and I know the lt1's are internally balanced in the front and externally balanced in the rear (ie flywheel) anyone know of good harmonic balancer from summit, jegs, ws6store, hawksthirdgen? Also Im 25,000 grand into my project and funds are past depleted. 550 hp with open headers will sure be fun though

new motor photos, lots more photos to come in the next 2 weeks between the new 12 moser rear, full BMR rear suspension and soon front suspension, new brake set up, and in two months the car is going to Hillsborough and getting a complete exterior overhaul.

Hey anyone know of a good set of motor mounts from summit, I just want rubber ones, not anything polyurethane. I hear the polyurethane ones give off a lot of vibration.

It was like $60, you can have it if you come pick it up. Not interested in shipping it just cause I'm way too lazy. If you PM me your number I can send you pictures.

You will ruin rubber motor mounts quicker than your rear tires. Get poly and enjoy feeling one with your motor I wouldn't put a stock crank pulley on this motor either. ATI is a great piece

I hope my hooker super comp headers clear the kick out on the oil pan. My headers have been out at mirror finish polishing for the past 7 months and I completely feed up with this polishing company....I mean come on 7 months and I still don't have my headers....wtf
