I am familiar with Ecoboost / Duratec engines, I am not aware of any block strength issues. There are a couple of minor weak areas that need attention but very easy and inexpensive to fix. What do you know that I don't?

Regarding the damper, I guess one persons pulley is another man's damper. I have one of these in my shop and it looks like a pulley to me. That being said, the Ford 2.3 single OHC motor doesn't technically have a damper either. Mine does because I retrofitted an SBC unit to it but not the way it comes from the factory.
