Counterweight Kit Mopar V8

The Counterweight Kit Mopar V8 from McLeod is a precision-engineered flywheel balancing solution designed for small-block Mopar engines. As a seasoned mechanic, you know that internal engine balance directly impacts smoothness, longevity, and drivability—especially when upgrading components or running a stroker combination. This steel counterweight kit restores proper reciprocating mass balance when stock components are replaced or modified, preventing vibration and premature crankshaft bearing wear.

Manufactured from solid steel in natural finish, the counterweight assembly attaches to the flywheel to compensate for weight variations inherent in custom rotating assemblies. Unlike band-aid solutions, this kit addresses root-cause imbalance by redistributing mass at the source. McLeod's counterweights are precision-weighted and finished to exacting tolerances, ensuring that harmonic vibration remains within spec across the entire RPM range. Installation requires basic engine work and proper torque procedures—standard fare for any serious Mopar build.

This kit is essential for builders running stroker cranks, aftermarket connecting rods, or custom piston combinations on small-block Mopar platforms. Whether you're dialing in a street cruiser, weekend warrior, or competition engine, maintaining proper balance prevents costly damage to the crankshaft and main bearings. The compact dimensions (4.85 x 1 x 7.5 inches) and lightweight design (0.78 lbs) make installation straightforward during any flywheel service. Compatibility is confirmed for McLeod flywheels and standard small-block Mopar mounting patterns—verify your specific application before ordering.
