My first question did the 94-95 5.0 GT use a different harmonic balancer compared to the older 86-93 5.0 mustangs. I understand these 94-95 mustangs use a shorter waterpump which set the surpentine belt back 1.5" compared to the 86-93 mustang 5.0L There fore i would think the crank pulley is set back further as well? Is the harmonic balancer different?

I found this ebay link

But its the only place saying its different therefore i'm not sure what to believe.

could someone Tell me if there the same or different and maybe post a picture of one. As i'm looking for one so would like to know what it looks like.

I think the timing marks are in a different spot. HBs go bad. I would suggest buying a new one.

Same one on both engines. Pulley size variations are compensated by the pulley itself, not the balancer.

For what they cost, you are much better off just getting a new. That one on e-bay looks sort of used.
Pioneer sells a good replacement, not SFI but you don't need that anyway, also try Summit Racing......

I have Summit's. It's made by Pro-Race, IIRC. Not SFI approved, but still a nice balancer for the money

They are not the same! you cant use over a 6 3/8 OD balancer on a sn set it will scrape on the bottom bolt of the water pump!!!!!

Wanna test it go ahead.....

Venomantidote95

Most of the balancers are 6.5in OD they hit, there are a few that are 6 3/8 and some 6.1 those are the ones you get to choose from..
Pioneer, professional products and fluidampar are some choices. The trickflow piece will work too but it is a modular setup buy pulley mounting piece and removable weights..

Take his advice, I learned this one the hard way
