Default Pulleys...Pulleys....Pulleys

What a struggle to get my hand on pulleys for my big block conversion. The other day I landed a complete set of them. I cleaned, sand-blasted, and then painted them and made 'em all look like new. Then when I fitted the waterpump pulley I found out the center-hole was too small. Its 5/8 instead of the required 3/4 hole. Now do I have an odd-ball waterpump or an odd-ball waterpump pulley? This has been the toughest part of this project. Last week it was brackets and I ended up ordering a new set from Corvette America. Thanks all!

Indy

Well so tonight I'm gonna try drilling the hole out to 3/4 and we'll go from there.
