Hi Marty,
I've not spoken with ATI directly. I heard that they had "several" sets of
drawings, of which one was certainly for the 4-cylinder because I held it
and watched it being installed. Barry Rosenburg stated that ATI was
commissioned some years ago to do the drawings for the fours. Now whether
someone has commissioned ATI to do the drawings for the six is anyone's
guess until we call ATI and ask them, which I will do today.
I note that the timing marks on the damper that I saw were very
comprehensive, and that the damper was zero balanced. I will ask ATI if the
timing marks are for the TR, or are generic.
I doubt very much if the design for the four is the same as for the six, as
they have completely different resononance characteristics. But what is
important is that we have found a company that is willing to work with us.
The down side is that the damper is pretty thick (deep), which requires
notching the front cross-member. Darn, wish I had done all this before
putting the motor back in.

Hi Shane. I had heard rumor of ATI doing 4-banger dampers but for some
reason I was thinking they had not attempted the 6 cylinder version. Are
they saying the 6 cylinder would use the same design as the 4 cylinder?
