I think that I can make things work with the double pulley on the crank and a single pulley on the water pump. The problem that I have with the single water pump pulley that I now have is that it is for a wide belt. I need the narrow water pump pulley. I will not need to move the fan forward any with both crank pulleys being between the balancer and the engine. Only when the second pulley is added to the outside of the balancer is there a conflict with the fan and the belt. I have located the crank balancer with both pulleys(small width)but not the water pump small width pulley. If I was to use the single bolt on pulley, then move the fan out toward the radiator, I have considered moving the radiator forward or having another aluminum radiator built and positioned forward as needed. I am determined to make this work. Its just too hot in Florida to drive and enjoy this car. Thanks for yours comments and keep them coming. I'm not there yet! Thanks. Stve
