Yeah I already bit the bullet on 2 groove billet pulleys. They were painful.

My car has PS so I ended up buying the Paragon/GM Resto parts. I ended up needing the crank and WP pulleys as well as a 74 PS pump when I swapped the 350 in my 75 to a 454.

Big632,
Thanks for the info and I hope you liked my art work....
One last question. I can't tell from your pics but are you running an electric or belt driven water pump? If you change the angle of the lower bracket would you have any interference with the upper right corner of the WP?Thanks again to all!

On the PS pump, there was something about either the pulley or how it mounted to the bracket. I did it like 5 years ago so I forget why, but it defintely had to be done.
