Boy they sure look great in the pictures don't they.
I think I can still easily have one made for under $250. The balancer I know will work is around $75, and the trigger wheels can be had usually from spare Explorer parts. I don't know how much of a discount I got because I had them work on two, and one was close to being finished(an example of the main process).
My plan was to eventually make another one for my next engine, and likely build a third as a spare. I was probably going to start with that SFI balancer I mentioned before. Right now I cannot afford to spend money on those kind of future parts for myself.
Dale, you may be finding more sources for 28oz balancers which can be modified like ours. Let me look harder at the backside of mine, the key is where the steel ends on the back of them, to be able to build a mounting ledge there.
