Got home from Parker today and found this purdey lil thing sitting on my laptop in the kitchen,







Yeah, I know, you all thought I was talkin about a girl! This is even better!!!!

Apparently, my baby brothers been busy while I was gone. Hopefully he saved all the CNC and UniGraphics data on building this puppy. It's a cross between the steel one I bought (which won't work with my mounts) and what I need to mate with the low mount SCJ brackets I used. Should work fine, but now gotta play around with the whole Belt length issue again! Should give about a 25% reduction on the alternator.

I'm gonna tear off an alternator pulley for him too, see if he can make one about 15% bigger or so and deeper grooved. I think my problem is Pseudo-solved, the belt stayed on this weekend, with a new belt, and NO sustained blasts above 4500 or so (Well ALMOST No blasts, did romp it and hold it right at 4800 or a little above right before I pulled it out Sunday with Brad, what the hell, was pulling it out anyway, lol). Still want it to stay on at 5500 or 6000 (where it wants run), so there's where my mind is at with that. Should save alternators too.

Trying to see if I can get maybe at least a couple seasons from a belt, instead of a dozen or so trips in a season? (That'd prolly be 3 or 4 belts a season by my math)

Anyone else need or want one? I might be able to sweet talk him! (He did explode, burn and sink my Beisemeyer, so the guilt card is playing well).

I have no idea what the base material even costs. He's in Chicago for this week, but I'll get with him on that when he gets back.

I would figure as a wild ass guess, if he has saved all the UniGraphics data, making more should be a snap, shouldn't be more than the standard SCJB price if fitty bucks, IMO. Could be off a bit though, so don't hold me to that, lol. But this is not to make a profit. I realized how hard it is to find such pulleys for a Ford over the last couple of weeks, which is why I bought the ones I did off Ebay and asked him to make a kinda combination of the two in a single sheave if he could.

I Guess I need to take off my stainless Super Cobra Jet mounts and have him maybe make up a package? I dunno. 'twas a thought guys, if you're interested, I'll work on him, lol. He's a busy guy, what with his job (Traveling as much as he does) and his own machine and injection mold shop here in Tempe (2 man operation, but they can make anything!, mostly just prototypes for people).

And yeah, still postin under the table today, lmao what a bunch of horsesh*t this is! Cut MY vacation short for THIS!!!????

He could easily, but he'd need a base to measure from as a starting point. I don't have any Chebbie stuff here, but his partner prolly does (Has a BAD ass 72 El Camino). I'll text him next break I get, lol

I might be interested after you try it out and make sure it charges at idle... I had alot of bad experiences with U/D pullies on mustangs. Damn things wouldn't want to charge at idle especially if you had a stereo system.
