Yep I agree...seems to go with the heads. The whole unit will certainly look a lot bigger with it polished though.

hey grip do you know what size belt yours will use? im using a 114 right now on my 6 rib and im kind of worried about belt sizes. i may have to get some smaller idlers made so i can get the 113 to fit. also when i pulley swap on the blower im going to need to swap idlers since i cant just swap to a bigger belt . any one doing any custom belts that you know of?

I thought the 113.5 was going to do it for me but the larger crank damper makes more of a difference than I realized it would, in other words, it's to short.

I would check out Dayco and Goodyear's 8 rib belts before you went to a custom length, which if you need, I think Kenne Bell can make for you.

yeah he is helping me out big time, luckily i have a bunch of extra pullies so i can send them out to him, im hoping he can help me with the idlers too. the one that goes stock on the alt near the tb is going to be the hard one since it is hollow on the inside and has to clear the alt bolt. but i think its possible , now guestimating the belt legnth with custom idlers will be the kicker.

What are you using to polish everything you are doing yourself?
