    Isn't this on a hot rod? Besides, the OEM pump still bolts to these brackets. So as long as the risers don't corrode in half he should be good to go.

    Jim, it looks like a nise riser set up to me. But I couldn't spare the forward room either.

    Thanks Ryan. I do realize that not a lot of people can move things forward but it's nice to have the option if you do have the room. I have nothing against the zips and snow white risers and would have used one if it didn't interfere with my oil fill tube.

    Truth be told this was originally designed to fit a SBC into a Fiero and I thought he was missing out a whole other market so I asked him to send me one to see if it would work for me. In return I told him I would figure out the pulley configuration and spread the word to see if there was any interest in an alternative market like hot rods. He did his part and sent me one so here I am spreading the word. For reasons mentions earlier in the thread (filler tube and fan clearance) this may be something someone wants and it is less expensive too.
