Re: Need measurement crank pulley to timing cover!!

There's not really a good spot to get a measurment, so I measured both a truck and F-body at the same spot. The F-body measured 1 5/8" from the cover and a truck measured 2 3/8", so F-body is 3/4" closer. Hope this helps.

You wont be able to run the F-body accessories with a dropmember. As it sits, from PB, the alternator wont allow for lines to be run on the rack and pinion. Then, you wanting to drop it even more I dont see it working at all

I'm running the front runner setup which uses the f-body balancer-just didn't have it in front of me and Nate is making me some new truss supports which will lower engine 3/4"--needed measurement to make sure back of pulley would sit down in front of rack with new drop................thanx jim
