Hi
I could do with advice on bottom crank harmonic balancer change. Just changing bits over for engine upgrade. 1960 ranchero 144 to a 1978 200
I have swapped the later long water pump for shorter one as engine won’t fit with longer. The early short water pump has a bigger belt pulley that hits the bottom harmonic balancer pulley .
I need the to put the 144 bottom pulley onto the 200 aswell for it to work but it’s just a pulley not as big as the harmonic that the 200 is using .does the engine need an harmonic or is it ok to use the early 144 bottom pulley and time case with timing tag in place of it
