8 rib conversion

[mark007]

well guys im closing in on having the motor finished and ready to have installed in a month or so. just had a few small details to attend to. one being belt slip issues. belt slip doesnt really happen unless you're spinnin a blower at high boost levels or past its rpm range. in my case im going to pulley this thing for max boost after the inital break in period. from what ive researched the best remedy is converting to a 8 rib setup. more belt contact helps with belt slip issues. and especially with other kb owners ive spoke with at various sites they tend to agree if considering going to anything over 12-13lbs of boost you're going to have issues. also i'll supposedly have more boost control. and plus the added oh ahh factor of being an 8 ribbed. anyhow heres some pics. let me know what ya'll think.

group pic of crank, waterpump, alternator, tensioner, powersteering, and ac(which is a one of one)
