Might sound like some dumb questions to alot of you but I can't find definitive answers anywhere and I'm new to this ♠♠♠♠
What size pulley will I need to run to clear the front beam, and what injectors go with it?

Running the stock SS/SC manifold you won't have any issues running stock or smaller pulley.
I read somewhere , that because in the auto the engine sits further up in the engine bay causing the stock pulley to hit the front beam, and either requiring modification to the front beam or a smaller pulley to clear it
OOoo damn
Not too sure about that one sorry man.
wich i could tell you there is a definitive answer, but only people i know who were auto and SC started on stock pulley, they took a pry bar to the front frame part of the car and just bent it up a little to allow the SC to fit...no big deal...its just aluminum or very thin steel anyway...just bend it upward to give you room...i know they had to do this for dragonfire's sc build...but if you want to try and avoid this, you can do a 2.8 or a 2.9
Cut a small notch out of the body, no biggie really...
Any chance you have a picture Ross?
i'll try and take a better one later
You can see it better here sort of
I'm running the GM stage 2 pulley (77.9 mm) and we had to notch the frame...
Any chance a BFH could just dent it a bit outta the way?
nope. not impossible but I'd think it have to be a HUGE FH.
It's about an 1/8" thick. Notch it.
Reeaallly trying to help this guy avoid cutting the frame up, dented frame holds up better and doesn't rust.Originally Posted by SpringerDesigns
Doesn't matter i hit the wall doing 70 and my front end held up just fine, these cars are built very well!
I thought that a GMS2 pulley would clear it, I guess not.
"You nail that turn in point, and you nail that apex, and you nail that track out point to the inch. If the car the whole time while you're doing that isn't screaming bloody murder, you're not at ten tenths. And you need to push a little harder."

Damn well I Got a stage 2 pulley for free, hopefully it'll reduce the amount of ♠♠♠♠ I gotta do to the beam.
remember the reason for rotated mounts. the auto trans cars were built that way 15mm closer to the front therefore the tie bar....redlines are soooo much easier with more room lol
hit it. no problem. rust check after
This is the route MP81 went, gotta hammer and bashed the ♠♠♠♠ out of the support then painted lol.

I do have an air chisel thing that will probably do the job pretty good
oh yeah and I can't do any "hard" reverses or the pulley will hit... not that I'm trying to peel out in reverse though.
