Default Harmonic Balancer Recommendation

Need to upgrade the OEM balancer on my '94 to an SFI approved one.

Recommendations? Fluidamper maybe?

Is there one that is smaller than an OEM one, say... the same size as my March underdrive pulley? That way I can remove my OEM balancer and underdrive pulley and replace both with just a new balancer.

To lazy/busy at work right now to scan through all the vendor websites. Wondering if I can get some quick input. TIA

ATI is the best. Mine is for sale. Only has the break in miles on it. I'm only selling it because the ****** at GM decided to make the Camaro and LT1 different in stupid places. LMK

Do you mean the Camaro and the Corvette? Lost your meaning otherwise.

Do you have a link to it on a vendor website so I can see a pic and write up on it?

Thanx

I love the Fluidampr on my 383. It's the smoothest motor I've ever built. Got the SFI-rated version.

Are you guys reading the post correctlly? My problem is because of the different accerory design between the Fbody LT1 and the Ybody lt1 I cant re-use my ATI. My point was I hate the fact that I have to sell it because the thing is still new. I just have no choice.
