    I would remove the 3.4 pulley before the motor eats a piston.

    Ive been doing so much work to the car. It was a mess like seriously like a bag full of extra wires and broken exhaust. I still need a ac compressor and wheel hubs. Also for some reason the car pulls to the side if I let go of the gas.

    hubs if bad enough can make it pull or drift around.

    nice score for sure.

    id get some headers on it, or put a stock pulley back on before your posting about misfires and such. aka chipped pistons.

    make sure your using 91 or higher octane too. 93 is even better if you have it local.

    that dont sound so safe.

    check the brakes are not dragging and the motor mounts, and the hubs for play. and the lower control arms. pretty much you need to go over the whole front end.

    miss matched front tires ( brands, or different size) will also make it pull as well as if one tire is low on air. you can try swapping the front wheels around, see if it pulls the other way.
