Doing some investigation I felt i could sneak in a extra belt behind the standard pulley so I'll use the add on pulley for another y block project down the track.... For now I Turned this into thisCrank drive. Then made this look a little more useful like this

Still have to machine the bolt up holes and the keyway. But this is how they look together.

also had a start on polishing those wheels, might not even chrome them for now!

only because my wallet is hurting from being out of my pocket so much lately!

And here is a reference shot against the original snuck a extra belt behind so it'll be 4 belts now!

did a little more today! Made one hole offset 5' so that the pulley can be marked for tdc and never mixed up. Also got this plate the other day off a mate of mine. This is probably more special to me than the manifold it will be bolted to.

Thanks for posting the pictures.  Great looking piece!  It’s always nice to see those parts that are being hand crafted for our rides.

What are you going to do for the crankshaft damper?

gonna leave it out for now see how i go, on the 292 steel crank motor i'll have it all balanced together.

Very nice workmanship. You're very fortunate to have that equipment and those skills.

Definitely needs more than 4 carbs! Looks good for a hot rod motor, but I'm trying to make it look like a purposeful race car?!? Nearly forgot I had these covers, nows as good a time as any to put them on! Just gotta find my finned valley cover now....

Here is a little more, keyed the crank hub, finished the port plates and bolted them on (I stuffed up the fist set) and started marking out the blower top for the 6 carbs.

Little far spaced but I like the menacing home made look this spacing has with the carbs on.
