Hi all,
I'm working on my engine for my 1968 Newport. The original 383 was toast so I got a 1977 400 engine, also from a Newport.
I'm currently cleaning and painting all engine components so that the engine can go in like it was new from the factory. I want to use most parts from my '68 383 so that it still looks like the original engine.
I have to use the '77 harmonic damper since it has a balance weight where the '68 damper didn't. I wanted to use the '68 crank pullies since they are nicer than the '77s.
But I've just noticed that one of the holes is not aligned. Can I enlarge the hole in the pulley and use it. Or are pully and harmonic damper balanced together?
