Are these parts still available?

I believe that you meant "C50E"?

Hi Fast Fords

Thank you for your input on this subject. It seems that I get the same two hecklers on my posts. If we were using their logic (being kind) I would have to give away or pay someone to take anything I had that was used and needed any kind of restoration work to make the piece usable.

I emailed photos to you, please let me know if you have any other questions, thank you.

I think you are touting the "fully degreed" aspect of the balancer to justify the $950 asking price, as NOS balancers routinely sell for half that amount

as I have already mentioned, in my opinion, it is worth about 1/2 of what you are asking.

<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana" size=2 id=quote>

zray's logic

$950 for NOS original competition balancer in the origianl box (my posted ad)

$550 for used stock balancer in unknown condition (another forum ad)

$500 for used stock balancer that is completely restored (my ad)

$302.50 for a new reproduction balancer (Cobra Automotive, ebay ad)

Above are listed prices of various hipo harmonic balancers that are listed here and elsewhere on the internet. Now if my NOS hipo competition harmonic balancer is worth 1/2 ($475) of what I am asking (according to zray), where does that put the other balancers listed above or elsewhere on the internet?!

If NOS hipo harmonic balancers are "ROUTINELY" selling for $475 I want to know where these are being advertised for sale because I've never seen them for sale at that price?! I as well as others reading your babble would like to buy one!!!

I just have to laugh, I see stock USED balancers posted on this site for sale at more than 1/2 of what I am asking for this original NOS GT350R balancer that is still in it's original box. This balancer needs nothing, no restoration, no paint, nothing...........just a worthy engine to install it on.

So if this balancer is actually a legitimate "original" race part in "NOS" condition in the original "FORD" box what would this part be worth? By the way please read the last post I made, that is the reason for the price. If you have one of these exactly the same as I described that is cheaper $$$ than I have this one listed for I'll buy it from you, I'm waiting. I have my opinions as well but you know what they say about opinions.

I have another balancer that has been done EXACTLY like this one on a ORIGINAL competition engine, you are correct though any competent machine shop could make 360* of timing marks on a balancer, I have seen them too. The timing marks that were applied to this balancer involved machining the outer diameter of te balancer so that it was completely concentric (which removed the original timing marks and date code), machining another 1/4" (approx.) step just slightly deeper than the first operation next to the bevel cut at the rear of the balancer and then applied the full 360* of timing marks to the concentric surface just in front of the 1/4" step cut. I'm finding it really strange how people say they have seen my parts but I don't ever recall them being emailed photos or seeing them in my garage?! Happy hunting and good luck!

P.S. I never said that the premium was for the timing marks, maybe because it's NOS?!

Emails with photos have been sent, thank you. Just so that everybody is aware, this balancer has no date code as Ford machined / trued the outer diameter of the balancer before engraving the 360* timing marks. This would make this balancers application range from January of 1964 (introduction of the C50E or 1965 part numbers) through late 1967. This has a C50E A casting number and the original box has a C50Z-C part number.

dunc289

You are correct as soon as the 289 hipos (5-bolt version) were available they were installed into Cobras. When Shelby started installing the optional automatic transnisions the later 6-bolt 289 hipo engines were used, only in the automatic Cobras.

NOS, C50E original Ford race or competition part with engineering numbers. This is a original Ford C50E harmonic balancer that has been modified by or for Ford with full 360* timing marks and engineering numbers in it's original box. This balancer would be correct for and 289 equipped Cobra "Comp", GT350R or as a over the counter purchase. This balancer has never been mounted on a engine. $950 + shipping

Shelby American Inc part number CR-6049, "Full Competition Heads". These cylinder heads are original Shelby heads prepared by "Mondello's Porting Service", this is a matched / numbered set. Modifications include larger valves (1.87 intake, 1.60 exhaust)porting and polishing of both intake and exhaust ports, welding in "banana" ports, surfacing and polishing and CC combustion chambers. These are the real deal and would be correct for any small block powered competition Ford (Cobra, GT350R, GT40,etc). $3000.00 + shipping

*The sale price wouldn't cover the amount invested in modifications let alone the history these heads have*

NOS early press on type hipo alternator pulley C3MF-10344-A, correct for all Ford or Mercury big (427) and small (289) block hipo engine vehicles produced before 1965. $475 + shipping

This is the correcet bracket and adjusting arm for all vehicles optionally equipped with alternators before 1965, Ford standardized vehicles with alternators in 1965. Please see Bob Mannel's "Mustang & Ford, small block V8" book (4J4 4-53) for reference. This is a very rare assembly. $425 + shipping, I also have the correct alternator rubber dust / splash shield and correct early hipo alternators (with press on hipo pulley) available seperately. This bracket will also accept all standard alternators used on small block Ford products.
