Or is there something else i could use ??? Maybe BBChevy ???

big block ford may work better???? i gone to the bone yard more then one time looking for pulleys with the right off set to speed up or slow down the water pump . bbc chevy has a long and short water pump so there two depths on pulleys . measure from water pump hub to the water pump body or any thing that hits first and i can tell you what pump pulley may work .all my stuff was single groove so from there the bottom pulley may not line up i cut alum spacers up and re cut the damper pilot out bigger on the lathe. i have some skin on my back now so i can take a ride to my shop in a day or two if that works for you

Thanks Pat, a mate has just dropped a Ford pulley round to me to try, will let you know but it looks a bit small diameter.
