can't you shorten up one of the deep pulleys you have to work? i've done it a few times in the past.
neil.

Sanden compressor with Bouchillon brackets works exactly the same as the factory compressor and brackets, except that it takes up less room for the compressor. I'll try to get some pics later.
The small block crank pulleys may work too. A single groove small block seems to possibly work with the 2 5/8 depth big block water pump pulley and single alternator? If not it's close. Will give a closer look later.

I may still have a complete set from a motor when I was mocking up my 512. They are yours if you want to pay shipping. PM me if it interest you.....

Here are the pulleys on my 440. I didn't get the alternator in (it's 104 out there right now at 2pm). Still working on air cleaner mods to fit everything (had to shorten the neck to fit under the hood)
The brackets I', going to use aren't from Bouchillon. Although, they might be the same. I've not compared. I'll go look now and see.
Thanks Jim. I am assuming that the compressor then does drive the alternator since it's in the same spot as the factory unit.
Yeah I see it on their web site not. That might be a better option. It's about the same price as what I was looking at. Thanks.
Oh well, both kits say they will not work with aluminum water pump housings. So I am back to square one I guess. lol
Hay looks like this one will work! It's a bit more money but what the hell, right? lol

They have several different kits. I think I'll just call them Tuesday and see which one will work best. Thanks Jim. I had actually forgotten that Bouchillon had all that stuff.

Bouchillon has one for the early housing which the aluminum is based on (I think). The only real difference is the location of the bolt near the thermostat. Even if they don't have exactly the one that fits a new hole can be drilled.
Yup, two choices from Bouchillon:
Without AC pulleys and WITHOUT power steering:

With AC pulleys and early housing or most aluminum"

I thought mine was based on the later housing.....since it has the passenger side inlet, but heck if I know. I'll find out. lol

The water pump pulley I used for no air conditioning and no power steering was pretty deep, and it cleared the stock replacement Water pump and the Mopar aluminum water pump and housing I switched to later on.
This poor picture is all I have right now.

That's the pulley I am looking for.

Not sure all years that pulley was used. Mine came off of a car older than 1967, but I don’t recall for sure what it was. Something like a early 60s C-body car.

Found a thread from a couple years ago with better pictures of the same pulley I had. I think it’s the same one. If you have the small flat extender for the low deck engine that bolts onto the passenger cylinder head, everything else in that thread should be what you are looking for.
Need more help re: 440 conversion from A/C to non-A/C V-belt drive

Hey Jim. So does the double grooves on the crank pulley go to the double grooves on the AC. Then alternator ,water pump, crank pulley are on the most forward grooves. Seems like the earlier non AC cars example 68 GTX had the belts closer to engine deeper water pump pulley shallower crank. Like bobzillas.
Like this Rob? These Top pulleys are different diameters from 6 1/4 to 7 inches. Depth is 2 1/2-3.0 inches being measured with the pulley flat on the bench up/down thru the center hole. Kim

And I bet you still don't have a full set that works for whatever you're building
Yeah. The one I need is a single groove and 6 13/16 in diameter. I think 2 3/8" is the depth. Like this.

Yes, the two rearward most grooves are for the alternator and AC compressor. Third one out is for the power steering with the last one for the WP.
Non-AC cars used the rear groove for the WP and alternator. Second groove for power steering.
Wow! Like buried treasure!
