Anyone aware of a vendor selling an overdrive pulley for the 351C i.e. a larger crank pulley to increase water flow rate?

Over here the local clevos run a larger crank pulley.
We ran 351 clevos up to 1985 !
I noticed when mine arrived how small the crank pulley was in relation to the water pump pulley.
I could send you one if you like.
that is why i was thinking of fitting an elec pump inline to help push the water to the pump.
as I don't know if the bigger crank pulley will hit the firewall, nothing a grinder can't fix !

Julian,
I had one made of aluminum. Its about as big as you can go without cutting the body.

Nice....
Mike,
Very nice, thanks for posting.
One question, what is the purpose of the turnbuckle between the water pump housing and alternator?

Julian,
LOL...I knew someone would ask that ! That part of the alt. bracket isnt very strong. I would have added a piece to it to strengthen it up but I already had it painted and installed on my new 393. Over time the alt. bent in right there and the pulleys werent straight. Those pulleys stay in alignment now !
