Craig,
Thanks.
Larry,
Altering the water pumpp/alternator/power steering is no issue. The deal is get rid of the flying inertia ring! Since You all can see no problem in using the v8 damper as for harmonics, that's ok to me! Yes, i'll cut the crank gear 1/4 to make the damper ride on the 2 keys. Will also drill and tap the crank nose for a 7/16 NF 20 X 2 1/4 steel bolt to make sure it's really tight there. This engine will see street use into a Chevy Opala, a Brazilian built Opel from the 60, looks like a 68 Nova, just smaller. It's a SS version, the license plates reads 4100 (the way we refer to these engines here, 250CID equals 4100cubic centimeters) so looks cool! 270' hyd cam, headders, bigger intake valves, clifford intake, some carbs to choose from, 210cfm 2bbl holley, 350cfm holley and a 390cfm nascar double pumper.
Thanks!
