Pulleys for 454 mags?
I'm geting my engines rebuilt and want to get new pulleys for the crankcase, water pump, and alternator. Would like aluminum. Have seen a lot of sets advertise in automotive and ebay as "2/3 short pump big block". I know to get the short pump pulleys, but is the "2/3" that simple when they are describing the number of grooves on the pulleys? my water pump pulley has 3 grooves, but only 2 are used. Is the diameter of the pulleys a standard size on an automotive 454 crank and water pump pump vs a mercruiser 454? Anyone know where to buy cheap sets?

Take a look at CPperformance, Eddie Marine, Dennis Moore has a page on ebay. Those are just a few, you can try the automotive pulley's if you like, but good luck with your pulley allinment.

yep jeff, the alignment with the automotive pulleys is my concern. CP did have a lot of marine pulleys to pick from. The ones on ebay and other automotive sites are half or more than the marine pulleys. If I can't get the specs or the measurements on all the automotive ones, looks like I'm going to have to buck up and buy the marine ones.
