Default LQ4 SFI Harmonic Balancers
There does not appear to be much out there for stock 7.5 inch diameter SFI Harmonic Balancers for truck accessory drive spacing. Most are 25% under drive.

On 1970 Nova using a LS1 alternator bracket with very slick ebay adapter (Scram Speed SCM LS 1001) for drivers side high mount alternator location which works great with truck harmonic balancer but rules say time for SFI unit. Also Camaro water pump with wide pulley and forward facing water neck.


Any suggestions for good and cheap??

Don't know about cheap, but I'm sure ATI could fix you up.

It is hard to justify a 500 dollar balancer on a 1,000 dollar motor!
