I tried to upload photos but it sent me to the administrator for some reason, tried one photo at a time and think they are ok now. The water pump pully has 2 grooves and is part #3995646AH. Crank pulley, I could find no number but is 4" deep and has belt grooves at 1 3/4, 2 1/2 and 3 5/8" from inside out.

I'm no expert on the long water pump stuff since there were several combinations with the water pump brackets, BUT I do know that the combinations I've seen have the water pump pulley deeper in that the backside of the pulley is really close to the housing by the water nipple. The crank pulley also looks incorrect in that the spacing from the balancer to the 1st groove is too deep or is missing a groove. Where did you come across these pieces? It also appears that you are using the short water pump PS pump mounts

Kwmech, The previous owner put this engine in it. He told me that he used a donor 1971 truck for the power steering, 5 bolt wheels, disc brakes etc. After a time surfing the net I found that the water pump pulley is off a '71 6 cylinder engine. He must have used the pulleys off the 6 cylinder engine. I'm wondering if a stock two groove fan pulley for a 350 would solve my problem? I need the 2 groove so I can keep the inside groove for the power steering.
