i hope you plan on running a dampener ?? the lower pully location is going to determine the length of the snount of the blower drive,,

also if you havent yet, looks like your motor is together,,?? you should have the crank cut 180degrees for a double key way,and the same in your balancer,,,some guys dont use a balancer and just run a lower hub for the blower belt pully,,,claiming the belt takes up all the vibrations,,

the double keyed crank helps it from having the belt drive from twisting the front of the crank offf,,,

what kind of boost are u planning on??? mine is a street car my pullys are at 6% under driven,,,7.76 actuall compression and make 13 pounds of boost,,

absolutly a damper is a must,will reuse my old thrusted fluiddamper that is from the stoneage it has never given me any trouble and i hope it wont start acting up now:) but will try to put the blower belt as close to the damper as possboble if i can make it work like that and have the powerstearing and alternatorbelt outside the blower belt,we will se if that works or not..
i have thought alot about putting an extra keyway in the crank but shortblock is toghether now and in absolutely worst case i have a spare crank if something bad happens to the one i have now and im only planing on running about 8pounds of boost for a start since i know my poor stockblock is the biggest limitation and better to learn how to tune a blown engine before starting to push some bigger boost# but i would not be surpised if i end up at 15lbs of boost sometime late in the summer,the important part is to be faster than my friends nova for a while before doing something stupid and blow the engine,this is also a streetcar:) but with alot more compression on E85
