The supercharger (Weiand 144) had damaged and incorrect pulleys. Add that to a nice Alan Grove serpentine drive installation and SECRET WEIAND SPACE SHUTTLE COMPONENT dimensions and it is fit as you go.
The correct pulley ratio required a 7" drive and a 3.75" driven pulley from Holley. The 7" came new from the internet at 1/4 the price and required a crankshaft pulley spacer.
Sent a very nice Speedway spacer to Dick in Southern California for final machining. Dick was my Cub Scout Buddy maybe 70 years ago. One of these days, I want to share the "Don't Look Back" story with Dick 60 Years in the past.
Now we have the Alan Grove installed with the Weiand 6 rib drive in front of that and and 2" billet spacer for the 18" reverse rotation Perma Cool flex fan and still have 1.3754" inches to the new Champion radiator.
Remember the 16" Heavy Duty SPAL pusher on the front. Getting all this in there without disassembling the windshield wipers and bleeding all over the shiney stuff was stressful.
Vegas cooled down a bit before the test run but so far never over the 180 degree thermostat without the SPAL, and five (countem 5) pounds of boost!
We Bad!!!
