TR6060 and TB suspension? Any info on the starter interference?

It’s just a curiosity, I think it will be ok and either way I will make it work. Just another data point.

Yes, I measured from the face of the pulley to the front edge. Now that I think about it, yours will be different since you are running a wide belt and no power steering pulley.

Front face of the crank pulley to back to the pinch weld on the K is ~1 3/8"

Front face of the crank pulley to the radiator core is 5 3/8"

Back face of the fan motors are 3.5" from the radiator core.

Back face of the Contour fan shroud is 2 5/8" from the edge of the belt.

Not sure if you can translate any of that over to mean anything with the different engine. 1.75" does seem like a LONG ways to move forward, but the water pump sticks out so far on an LA maybe it's fine.

I understand!

At the same I am going to be really glad when (if?) I am cruising down the freeway running 1500 RPM at 65 or 70 mph.

:lol:

The overdrive gears are a real game changer. Now I didn’t set mine up to be that low of an RPM at cruise, I run 4.30’s and a 27.3” tall rear tire and the .63 overdrive in 6th puts me at about 2,300 rpm. But that’s fine, the cam and the way my 340 is built it doesn’t like to pull much below 2k.

But going from 3.55’s and a 1:1 4th gear it’s still a huge difference. My engine/cam hated the 3.55’s at take off, Lunati specs a 3.91 for that cam and I understand why. Now I have a much better final drive ratio for first and I can still cruise easily at 70-75mph. With my new commute being mostly highway vs freeway I don't even use 6th all that much. The .80 5th is basically like a 3.44 rear gear for a 1:1 transmission, the .63 6th is like running 2.7's.
