Ok, so besides this having less pressure on the crank and uses stock parts, what else is an advantage? With the other lower pully's dont you have to get a pully install kit? Will we not need to buy this, so essentially we would buy this pully and just bolt it on?
Great idea and long over due!:beer::thumbsup::rockon:
For those who may not be aware of the issues here.
Supporting the snout of the crank reduces flexing and fatigue a lot. When removed as in many lower pulley options, more load and flexing has in many cases caused crank failures.
By retaining the factory snout support, while torsional stress increases from higher pulley ratios and more drag from larger, higher rotational mass blowers, the life of the stock crank should be greatly enhanced.
If this pans out, many builds that would have been risky without a Kellogg crank installed, will now, hopefully, be relatively safe from catastrophic crank failures.
Basically, those are the biggest, most important advantages. The more you can implement factory parts in the design the better, like i said these have already been proven by Ford. Also, as everyone knows, the factory cage set up keeps any extra stress off of the end of the crank. Basically with this, all i'll have to do is remove my stock lower assembly and put this new lower assembly back on. Everything is already assembled, just remove and replace and you're done
