Frank...if that's a shot of the engine in your garage, you do more than tinker.
Nice job.and yep.. that was the bottom end of the motor from the rusted car with the studs / cam / timing chain installed. The other motors in the the background are a 427 BBC that I build for a now long gone 75 vette (motor is for sale on Austin C-list if it didn't expire), and a nice 383 solid roller SBC that is going into a 68 chevelle drag car. The 383 was pro built and came with the car.
Since I'm running a 3.0 pulley.. I've noticed the belt is slipping at higher engine speeds.. I like less complex solutions (as long as the expense is not that much more).. is is better to put a larger crank pulley on and go with a larger supercharger pulley, or add another idler pulley like i've seen to get more grip around the existing one? Maybe moot for now, as I'm on the hunt for a zzp 3.4 and/or 3.2 for warmer weather use.
Thanks again,
