guys,

i need your advice on pulleys.

i have a big block making about 525+ hp.

im going to buy new pulleys/brackets for it (dont have any now).

im staying with V belt. i dont have power steering. short stewart water pump.

what do i buy?

do i buy the stock alternator brackets and the crank/water pump pulleys?

or deep groove stock?

or are march pulleys something i need to look at?

this motor will see 6000-6500 rpm.

will the stock pulleys take this kinda power? will i throw belts?

are all march V belt systems underdrive (i dont want cooling issues)?

what would you guys buy?

thanks

March is now making overdrive pulleys. I believe these overdrive the water pump and alternator. I saw this in one of their brochures.

Also check out Zoops. A friend is doing a 69 with a big block and is using Zoops pulleys and they have a power steering coversion and it is trick. All the brackets are nice and beefy it looks like good stuff he had very few problems with the install.
