See Cloyes "Billet" sets with DID and Reynolds.
Rollmaster is the only set that I know of that uses a IWIS chain in every set,

If you are going to run a Cloyes, I would run the Race Billet set, not the Hex Adjust, and definitely not the Quick Adjust!!!!

Is the IWIS made in Italy? I've heard that is the one to have.

The motor is already together and running. I'm not a fan of gear drives either.

belts will take a lot of load and RPM, but they have a limited life span as well. One year is the max I would run one. They really don't like heat, like a closed engine compartment.

Well, when you consider they are good enough for a Top Fuel or Funny with the monster pumps they drive, I'll live with the harmonics issues. I would put a dual idler gear drive on a lawn mower. Their worse than a cheap chain. I have seen the crank gear fail on those because the gear is thinner than a chain or Milodon/Muldoon/Donovan gear drive. Even with the so called harmonics issues, my spark timing is waaay more stable with the gear drive that it ever was with the T chain.

If they sold this setup for a BBC, I'd be all over it. There are 2 gear T sets for BBC, but they are crap.

Okay, back to the water pump.
So, in the pics it looks like the pump is going to be huge, so I took a pic of the old and new side by side. The new 2 stage is only 1/2 pound heavier also which made me happy.

That's because the new one is made of unobtainium, and the neovane is made of stone age bronze.
Super looking set up. But there is something about the bolts I don't care for:hmmm:

Now that you have the program, you should be able to whip me up one for.....oh......50 buck?:schreck:
