[QUOTE="cj428mach, post: 15032632, member: 142081"] Ed, Thanks for the information, and I can tell from reading some of your posts you definitely have a lot knowledge and are an asset to the community. The stud maybe a great fix and probably the solution for many when pulling their motor. I just reinstalled my engine after fixing the head tick, and there is no way the motor is coming back out to drill the crank lol. I also know many others that don't want to go to that effort just to increase boost. This kinda originated out of a friend wanting to increase boost but he was only willing to do it if he got to keep the cage. I thought that the best solution was to get a pulley made that would allow the reuse of the rest of the lower to help keep costs down. If it was something others wanted then i'd do my best to help them achieve the same goal. Anyways i went down to the shop and got my spare lower apart, here is the pulley that'll hopefully make this idea come through, lol. [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/osws3c.jpg[/IMG] I used a little heat on it to help get the bearing out so I wouldn't have to be so rough with it to get it apart. The plan is to get this exact pulley reproduced in aluminum just in a larger size. Everything else from the stock lower will be reused, except a new bearing and bushings although a person could reuse them if they wanted but for $30 bucks, why? lol. If time allows I'll go by the machine shop to drop the pulley off and see if I can get this ball rolling. I'll know more after talking to the machine shop and i'll try to keep this updated. [/QUOTE]
