Harmonic Balancer for a 245HP engine

[Garry E.]

I have a '57 with the 245HP engine .... I have a harmonic balancer that was given to me, but I'm not sure if it is the correct one for this engine.... the pulley measures 3/8" at the top of the "V" and the balancer measures 5/8" wide (thick)..... I think this unit came from a '57 passenger car w/ the PowerPak engine (220HP....)

I believe I need a pulley that is 1/2" wide at the top of the "V".....

Does anyone have any additional dimentions or pictures of a correct harmonic balancer for my engine.....?

Thanks

The balancer that was originally used for your application had an integral pulley that was 1/2" wide at the top of the groove. I do not have a photo of it, however.
