I am adding power steering and front disk brakes to my 66 F-100, 352 FE, C6, SWB. Everything is going very well thanks to all the "seasoned" advice available on this site. I am using components off a 79 F 150. I was looking at the front drive pulley on my motor and do not see a vibration damper? Is this engine internally balanced or balanced at the rear? Better, can anyone tell me a part number and source for the three belt pulley I will need. The current setup has three small bolts holding it all togeather and one big bolt in the center of the pulleyassembly holdint it in the crankshaft.
Thanks!

I have a 390 with a single pulley/damper and I found an FE with a bolt-on dual pulley. I assumed I could just bolt the pulley to my damper but the pulley needed to nest over the damper (it wouldn't) and the bolt holes didn't line up. I have seen a variety of damper/pulley arrangements on 360/390's. So now I am on the lookout for an entire damper and pulley from another 360/390. Don't use one from a 410 or 428 because they are externally balance cranks that use a counterweighting on the balancer.
BBT, I don't know why it wouldn't work for you, but it did for me. Just so happened that my red truck had one that it wasn't using so now mr. blue has power steering. Maybe I changed the whole thing as I'm thinking back, because the one on mr. red is painted.

In the still cool hours of the night, you can hear chevys rusting away.
The correct pulley for the 66 352 is a bolt on pulley that is much smaller than the damper pulley. I have a 67 factory set-up which is identical to the 66. My pump is driven by a seperate pully off the crank damper. The damper has a standard two pulley arrangement which runs the fan/altenator (both also have double pulleys) The third crank pulley bolts right to the front of the standard damper pulley with three bolts and the crank bolt then bolts through everything. Here is a part list of the major components:
Special Third Crank Pulley -- C1AE 6312-A
Pump Mounting Bracket -- C5SA 3D515-A
Triangle Stabilizing Bracket -- C7TA 3D691-A
Double Fan Pulley -- C6AE 8509-E
The "thing" that the pully assy. bolts to (3 bolts), is the vibration damper. There are multitudes of pully assemblys to chose from. Any good junk yard will produce what you need. Yes your engine is internaly ballanced, but all engines have a vibration damper or else the crank would break in just a few miles due to torsional stress. the only diference between the dampers is that the externaly ballanced engines would have a "half moon looking" hunk of metal welded to them.
