    I'm not sure if a motorhome 440 has a specific cast crank damper.  I 
noted in messing with a cast crank 440 out of a C body that it did have a 
damper with the eccentric weight built into it, AND that it did accept the 
regular pulleys I needed to use from an earlier steel-crank motor.  Even 
though the damper appeared thicker, the depth of the pulley mounting face 
was the same as an earlier damper.
