Any recommendations for V8 engine balancing in the UK?
Engine balancing
- Thread starter Brian Coombs
- Start date
The best engine balancer I know has retired and sold his equipment. His name is Mike Huddart from Hankelow nr Nantwich. He has sometimes commented on things here.
Hi Jean Marc, I live in Ireland and there is nobody that can do it here, so I will be traveling to the UK anyway so it's only a bit further to go to France.
Brian, the company is Usiplace39 in Charcier (Jura).
There is no website, but he has everything to do this job, presently he is checking my gearbox ZFDS25 and he also has the clutch and clutch plate to balance on my RCR.
He can deassemble, modifiy, balance and rebuilt completely any engine, gear box or shaft, with a very well equiped machine shop and he goes from the Mini engine up to the V8 big block. There is 10 peoples, and racing engine is a part of the activity.
The only problem he is complecated to reach, but if you need, I may see with him to contact you let me know. On top of it you may com here in vacation it is a very nice place.

I would think that any of the Ford V8 engine builders will be able to balance the crank for you. I would recommend Engine Data Analysis in Pontefract. They have been building Road and race american V8s for years including many FIA race Ford 289s. Ben balanced a stroker 347 neutral balance crank for me a while back.

Thanks Jerry, I will keep that in mind for the future, I ended up going to Basset Down, and they look to have done a good job, but the proof will be when I get it running.
My engine has been built bij Peter Knight, from Knight Racing Services.
Maybe he can help you out
