V8 Help!
Scott? Sean? Ian? I'm transplanting my conversion parts from the 238 to the 350. The 350 has a Milodon cam drive. When installing the harmonic balancer/belt pulley I found the new engine has 1/4" less shaft length which miss-aligns my alternator and w/p belt alignment 1/4". I know there is a crank gear but I don't think Milodon would require you to install a shorter h/b. I "could" space out the alternator and w/p but may cause interference to the bulkhead. Will the h/b be okay mounted 1/4" off the shaft?

Felix, I am not 100% sure on this, my 283 didnt have a hole drilled and tapped in the end of the crank to use a bolt to hold it on. The later 350's did. Mine is a press fit.

Kennedy Engineering, Renegade and Desert Hybrids sell HB spacers of different lengths. I think Desert Hybrid spacers are cheaper and nice pcs

Sean,
I found out the crank drive "is" the spacer, LOL. I plan to machine down the h/b stub 1/4" to keep everything aligned and not reduce my limited engine to bulkhead clearance. See you at WCC, w/o my car...

Well this isn't the only obstacle. The bigger one is the 8" vs 9" mistake that KEP and I made. I actually had it figured out months ago but they told me the part numbers I provided are 9". I guess I "wanted" to believe them and should have removed mine first. Anyway, the short of it is I will have my Jaide flywheel modified to fit their 8" double disc and pp. This will take days I don't have prior to WCC. I also found some water fittings that are corroded that I will need to replace. Oh well, could've should've started earlier but life doesn't always cooperate...
 At least I've finally got my garage cleared, somewhat organized, engine replacement started, and have momentum. This is good gearing up for my other conversion project...
