Paxton & Vortech Crank Pullies??

**BLOWNBY** · 09-26-2005, 12:04 PM

Are they interchangable? Now the SC pullies are not as they have different shaft sizez correct. But are the cranks interchangable or do they have different dimension from block to pulley that don't allow them to be interchanged?

Now I have a 351 and I have an SVO balancer and it has a aluminum spacer between the balancer and pulley so could I add a different spacer or machine some of it off to make it work.

As I have had a 8.6" 10 rib pulley made for me and may switch to a 2000 this winter. The pulley wasn't cheap either.

You should be just fine Steve. When I had my dual belt Novi 1000 I ran a Vortech 8" crank. They're identicle, and I bet they even roll off the same manufacturing line. Not happy with the ol' "T"?? The Novi 2000 is the boss on the street........

Well, I really want a polished setup. So the ol "T" is going to replace where my ol "S" is now. Timmy is getting it. BTW he is up and running now with a C-4. Tonight we head to MILAN to do battle. I put 4cyl springs in the rear, changed my control arm mounts and will be running my old slicks (found a good deal on some Pro Stars to get me through SmackDown...then will unload).

Any way I then started kicking around the idea of a 2000 since it has more air flow than the T and should have just as good mid range as the T. Seems the 2000 may be the way to go for my extra cubes. I will be changing my intake and hope that really picks up th midrange next year.

Any ideas.

If you want to add REAL hp and torque, send those heads to TEA, fox lake or somewhere reputible like that and have them get "carried away" with them. I wouldn't go with AFR's since you already got the kooks for the highports. I promise you that is where the majority of really good running setup fall short. Maybe an FTI cam? What intake are you thinking?

With a fully ported high port head, 351, TFS R intake, FTI cam, and a Novi 2000, I'd shop for a chute. :shocked:

I'm going fishing for the next five days but i'll check in later........ :teeth:

The 2000 should walk the T in all aspects.

I have TFS Track Heats that have some port & polish work done (1262 gasket). The Kooks come with adapter plates to allow them to work on the straight bolt pattern as the headers have the Victor JR style mounting face. I was looking into the TFS R intake setup. Any other ideas on an intake.

What are the spec on the FTI cam?

Now have Lunati 232 242 --544 560 with 114* lobe sep. 1.6 Rockers

Go catch me some fish.

The novi 1000 or 2000 series will not work but the 1200-1500-2200 will work hope this helps.

ASP said the cranks are interchangable as well.

Oh ok. You have twisted wedge heads then. The TFS R is the real deal for sure. I'd get the heads ported first though. FTI is Flow Tech Induction. Custom grind for your app....... your cam is probably fine though.....
