Gilmer belt drive?

garvinoMember

I have a Gilmer belt drive system for my Pantera that the previous owner purchased and never put on.

I currently have my motor and transaxle out of my car and have been considering putting the system on. The old owner’s receipt shows that he paid over $1600.00 for it and I hate to see it just sit in my garage going to waste.

I have read all the old posts that I could find on the Gilmer belt system and found where “NewYorkChris” stated that he had to build a spacer between the bulkhead cover and the firewall for the system to fit.

Link to old Gilmer belt post - pic is about 3/4 of the way down the page

This makes me think that the passenger seat being pushed forward by the bulkhead will even be worse with the Gilmer belt system.

Has anyone done this conversion and is there anyway that I can avoid using a spacer or even reduce the size of the bulkhead with this conversion?

Any assistance or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
