:crybaby2: I need a new HB soon, this was probably the cause of all my vibrations issues I have been having recently...

Looks like it. PRofessional Products makes a decent one. The stockers are okay, they last about 70K, if they arent beat on.

Just don't use an impact cuz youll crossthread the crankbolt.

What Balancer from PP should I use? Also I will be putting in a new engine with 6 months, if I get a PP one, will it be able to carry to my new one?(302 short block from LMR?)

Yes, as long as it is balanced the same as the stock engine, which it should be.
heres a stock Ford Racing one: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=LRS-6316A%20%20%20%20%20%201&comp=LRS
Professional Products "street" version: http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=PP-80007K%20%20%20%20%20%201&comp=LRS

And P.P. "race" version (this one came already on my engine...lucky me!): http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=PP-90007K%20%20%20%20%20%201&comp=LRS

Stock replacement Ford one is $65 and works like a champ.

Already ordered the PP street one

. Putting it on as soon as it gets here.

It must just be balancer season. I just replaced mine with a Ford replacement balancer and it worked out great. Mine looked an aweful lot worse than yours does, so be thankful.

Make sure you ordered the aluminum spacer that goes on it, otherwise your pullies wont line up. I used to have the PN for that......

Apparently it comes with it, straight from the desc. ". Both balancers include a precision spacer for proper pulley alignment and interchangeable counterweight. "
