    So we just did the V8 swap and now we need the correct pulley set up to run the alternator and water pump. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, Don

    This is the kit I used, but it has a 2 groove crank pulley just in case I decide to run power steering,the same company has a kit without power steering. The finish is perfect and they're cheaper than March but still stings a little to pay so much for 3 pulleys

    We ended up ordering a set of pulleys from CVF Racing. I will post a picture once they are installed.

    Finally got around to taking some picures. Pulleys fit perfectly and so did the new aluminum Champion radiator we got from Jegs. Radiator was a straight bolt in.... PULLEY_INSTALLED.jpg NEW_RADIATOR.jpg

    Get a set of standard issue 5.0 (pre '94) under drive pullies and redrill the water pump pulley to match. The number on my belt is 6PK0990 390K6. Sorry, I dont remember the manufacturer. Been running this for a lot of years and have never thrown one off, even when racing up to 6500RPM.
