MFP Crank Support

[bankyf]

I'm currently running the MFP Crank Support on my 2020 Whipple car with the stock 6 rib balancer. I would like to switch to an overdrive balancer, but remain as 6 rib. It seems that ATI only offers 8 and 10 rib options, but Innovators West offers a 10% OD 6 rib option. I have a feeling that the MFP crank support won't work with the IW balancer. Can anyone confirm this or suggest another 6 rib option with OD?

You can use a balancer with a smaller belt not a bigger one for obvious reasons.
you can run a 8 or 10 rib balancer and a 6 rib belt.

The 6 rib MFP crank support won't clear the 8 rib balancer, unfortunately.

My bad I didn't read/understand the question.... if this is the case then the IW and the ATI are your main choices here. I have not seen any other balancers that are out there for the 5.0 coyote cranks... I guess you could use the predator setup if you're willing to hack up the kit, change out a bunch of pulleys to make it work. but that seems like more headache than it's worth.

See if you can get an upgrade from MFP maybe?

Off topic but did you have to do the alternator relocation kit to run the crank support on the 6 rib set-up?

Awesome, just wanted to make sure. I have the whipple ordered just didn't want to have to wait on a relocation kit to get it all back together when I start the install. I appreciate the info.

But, I think you have to remove your front Sway Bar which is the only reason I didn't install one.

You do not. I’m not going to say it’s fun working around it, but it does fit with it still on.

Correct! Pain in the balls working around it, but it’s doable. I ground down an Allen wrench in order to get some of the bolts tight.

And… as bad as it is at stock motor height, it becomes almost impossible to remove/install when you lower the motor 1+”

Do you have a picture of your ground down allen?

Here you go! I just ground down the short side and was able to access the bolts near the sway bar without a problem.
