Need measurement crank pulley to timing cover!!

[jtp67-72]

Anyone got a f-body crank pulley installed ?? need a measurement from back edge of crank pulley to timing cover--I have a truck one now and can't get an accurate measurement of difference from any photos I have seen--Trying to drop my 6.0 lower in the P.B. dropmember-will be running the f-body pulley soon but need to lower now --- Thanx in advance...........jim

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
