Description

The Trick Flow Track Max harmonic damper delivers precision vibration control for small-block Ford 289, 302, and 351W engines requiring 28-ounce external balance. Built from carbon steel with an injection-molded elastomer ring bonded directly to the hub, this damper absorbs crankshaft harmonics that can accelerate bearing wear and timing chain fatigue. At 6.610 inches outside diameter, it fits standard small-block Ford applications while meeting professional safety certification standards. American-made construction ensures the material quality and dimensional accuracy that performance Ford builds demand.

Trick Flow engineered this damper with a removable bolt-on counterweight, allowing builders to adapt the unit for different balance configurations without replacing the entire assembly. The corrosion-resistant black finish protects against underhood moisture and temperature cycling, while engraved timing marks spanning 40 degrees before top dead center down to zero degrees provide clear reference points for ignition timing adjustment. The elastomer compound maintains its damping characteristics across a wide temperature range, critical for engines that see both cold starts and sustained high-rpm operation. This damper carries professional-level safety certification to 18.1 specifications, making it appropriate for both street performance builds and organized competition where technical inspections are required.

Ford 289, 302, and 351W engines with externally balanced rotating assemblies benefit most from this damper, particularly in performance applications where higher rpm operation amplifies torsional vibration. Whether you are building a weekend bracket racer, a restomod Mustang, or a hot street machine, the Track Max damper provides the harmonic control these engines need for longevity. We stock a full selection of parts and accessories to support your Ford small-block project from bottom end to top end.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Ford engines is this Trick Flow damper compatible with?

This damper fits Ford 289, 302, and 351W small-block engines that use 28-ounce external balance. It is not compatible with the 5.0L engine or any big-block Ford applications. The 6.610-inch diameter fits standard small-block Ford timing cover configurations.

What does the removable counterweight allow me to do?

The bolt-on counterweight can be removed or swapped to accommodate different balance requirements. This gives builders flexibility when changing rotating assembly configurations without purchasing a completely new damper, saving both time and money during engine development.

Can I use this damper in sanctioned racing?

Yes. This damper meets 18.1 safety certification specifications, which many racing sanctioning bodies require for harmonic balancers. Check your specific organization's rulebook to confirm their damper requirements before competition.

How do I read the timing marks on this damper?

The engraved timing marks range from 40 degrees before top dead center down to 0 degrees (top dead center). Use a timing light aimed at the damper while the engine is running to set your ignition timing against the marks and your timing pointer.
