Hi Guys,
I've lurked this site several times whenever I had a question on my 409. Now I'm in need of greater assistance. lol
I bought a 65 truck motor at the columbus goodguys show in 2010. Its freshly rebuilt, not a thumber. The car is a lowrider/street machine and will be a driver. I'm not going for the stock look so I was thinking about picking up some polished pulleys and I'm having trouble finding out what will work and what won't. Billet specialties is making a serpintine system for it but I really don't wanna go there. It's impressive but I'm not made of money and it just seems a little over done. And since I'm not going to have air, I really don't see the sense in a big bad serpintene system. I compared the old pulleys to the ones on the small block I pulled out of it and they appear to be the same? So could I just snag a couple small block pulleys? Also, I plan on putting an edelbrock water pump on it, does this complicate things?
Oh, I ran into a member if this site at a local cruise in. Last 60 I think was his name. He was a big help. Pretty sharp 60 chev as well.
