[Tigers] HiPo 289 Counter Weight

[Will Seay]

Jerry,
I ran a 289 with HiPo damper and hatchet in my 1A for a few years.  The 
engine started out as a factory 4bbl and retained the stock rods.  The HiPo 
damper and hatchet were added on the advice of the Ford Muscle Parts 
catalog.  I had always thought that the damper and hatchet were just 
designed to damp vibrations at higher RPMs and had nothing to do with the 
total mass of the drive train.
