GM/Performance Parts elastormer damper for
internally balanced engines and standard size crank snout. This damper
is tuned for high-RPM use (9000 RPM) and is similar to the ATI
Super Damper. NASCAR approved and can be rebuilt by replacing the
elastormer. |

GM/Perfomance Parts
elastormer damper for internally balanced smallblock engines with
aftermarket crankshaft snouts sized to big block Chevy diameter
(1.598") and is similar to the ATI Super Damper and GM damper (PN
24502534). NASCAR approved and can be rebuilt by replacing the
elastormer. |
Fluidamper
does have a viscous fluid 8" damper for externally balanced 400s
under Fluidampr (PN 712465).
Remember that if you are building a engine using a 400 crank and a
350 block to build the popular 383 combination, you must use a 400-style
front vibration damper and a flywheel or flexplate for externally
balanced 400 engines.
The crankshaft/front damper retaining bolt (PN 3815933) is
7/16"-20 x 2 1/4. The correct flat washer to use with this bolt is
(PN 14001829 or 14092217).
Most race sanctioning bodies have banned the use of cast-iron
production elastormer dampers on race engines for safety conciderations.
You will need to use an SFI 18-1 approved specification damper such as
the GM/Fluidampr or the ATI Super Damper types offered by GM/Performance
Parts (PN 12402534 or 2450535).
Gen. II engine use a dual-mass vibration damper that is unique. THis
damper and hub does not mate the crank snout in the manner most Gen. I
smallblock enthusiasts are used to and consequently it can not be
interchanged to Gen. I engines. THe dual-mass damper has two independent
inertia rings mounted on a common hub, wich enables it to work over a
wide range f engine RPM than previous designs. Rather than have a
separate pulley for a sepentine belt, this damper incorporates the belt
ribs and grooves as part of the damper. All Gen. II engines are
externally balanced. All Gen. III engines are internally balanced and
use a uniwue vibration damper. |
