SBC New Style PS Pump set up question
 
I need a little guidance and a pic of a SBC/Merc set up with '86 and later PS/Alternator bracket/belt routing.

Here's my issue....in converting my old Pre-Alpha 260's to Vortec I am changing everything...exhaust is old log style to new center riser style. All of the brackets are different...I am using the low alternator/high PS pump combo bracket that bolts to the front of the cylinder head and block. My problem is that I can't run a belt from the crank pulley up to the PS pulley with out interfering with the water pump pulley. Is the a twin belt set up for this with a twin belt water pump pulley?

Thanks in advance.

OK...just answered this by looking at pics of my buddy Brian's 272 Formula restoration...there is a twin belt pulley!!:evilb:

Forgive me for the dumb a$$ moment...it's Saturday night and I've been over at the shop working on this stuff.

Mr. Sprink;
Sorry I didn't read sooner. I could have answered, w/pic (same set up) Taking dyno $$ to Pensacola on Fri. Looking forward to wrapping my project up. Middle of May brain surgery for removal of tangerine size Glioblastoma tumor has set me back a bit. Hope you
have made out OK with storm weather. Thanks for answering some of my previous posts, I'll have more.
Best regards,
Rory
