Trying to help a friend with his car, and it appears that the harmonic balancer outer ring may have slipped. We hope to remove it in the next few days to verify, but it appears that the TDC mark is far away from actual TDC based on using a piston stop to find TDC and verify its position.
Since the car is just a driver, he would rather order a replacement balancer and not worry about rebuilding what is on the car currently.
In looking for a balancer, all of the 8 inch balancers marketed through Jegs, Summit, or other similar sellers note "except special high performance" for this size. I have a hard time believing that there is much difference between any stock replacement 8 inch balancers that would not allow any of them to work on an LT-1, but I thought I'd check here first and see if I'm missing something.
Looking at balancers like these:

Thanks for any comments.
