Author	Topic: Having trouble with pulleys
bluestreek Gearhead Posts: 1289 From: Athens,GA Registered: Jul 2001	posted 07-22-2002 02:28 PM I am finishing up my 331 roller motor and having some trouble with the setup on my pulleys. I had it balanced it with a Fluidamper and can't seem to find a pulley set to align with it. I measured the distance from the oil pan to the front face of the fluidamper and it is sticking out 1/2" further than a small 289 damper does. I checked a early 302 damper and it seems to be 1/2" wider than the fluidamper. None of the pulley and bracket sets that I have laying around will match. Looks like I'm gonna need SBF crank pulley that is approx. 1/2" shorter than the standard 289 2 brrl crank pulley.. Any ideas?? Anyone ever had a steel pulley shortened or purchased a crank pulley shrinker? Dan [This message has been edited by bluestreek (edited 07-23-2002).] IP: Logged
