Chuck;
Thanks for your response. I have been talking to YBLOKE about the heater hose issue. Right now, he is not sure if the T-Stat housing area is thick enough to support enough threads for a hose barb, but he plans on looking into that. He sent me an old photo of an old Cragar Y-Block blower intake that had a hose barb down on the passenger side front runner as I remember.
I purchased one of Lindsay's crank pulley adapters which is set-up for the Permabond crank pulley although you still need to drill and tap that for final fitment. It is similar, but different from Gord McMillan's crank pulley adapter for the McCulloch set-ups.

I am not even close to buying pulleys, but I like to gather all the info I can before I do. I am concerned about clearance issues also with my 37 coupe. I was planning on using a 8" blower snout which may require a pusher fan in front of the radiator. I really wanted to run a shrouded electric puller fan, but I just don't know if I will have the room.

I have a double V drive on my damper for alternator and power steering. With the drive pulley bolted flat on the face of the adapter it required the 9" snout.

Okay, I understand. No power steering for me, running a manual R&P so I'm just running the single V belt for alternator and water pump. BTW, I couldn't believe how heavy that 4-71 is! All the weight must be in the rotors.

A bare case feels strangely light. Those rotors are heavy and the gears.

I have one of Lindsays manifolds [#17]       I drilled and tapped the thermostat area for senders for the MSD Fuel Injection I'm installing on my 4-71..  There was enough material for threading. I actually drilled both sides...  But what you are installing can not go in very deep as the thermostat is close.. Also blower is close above ..   I'm close to being able to run. I just finished shortning oil pan . I am using one of John Mummerts  short front covers.. I just have to alter the dampner and remount alternator..  I didn't have enough rome without doing this.Everything else will work from previous setup.. I will try to attach picture..  Steve McD
