Folks,
My motor is nearly finished - I was intending to fit a Gilmer belt system.
Is it possible to run a Gilmer system with power steering and air conditioning?
I have found plenty of Gilmers with an extra groove on the lower pulley for the p/steering - but, no one offers a set up for air con.

If you guys say it's not possible, then I'll stay stock.

OK guys, I've just ordered a Gilmer belt system for my 351C.
The bottom pulley is being custom made as I type this.

On either side of the 1 1/2" main belt the workshop is machining in a v-belt groove. The rear belt groove is for the power steering and the front belt groove is to drive the air con.

I will have to re-locate the air con compressor forwards about 1/2", but I don't expect this to be a major hassle.

My engine should be finished early next week.

regards,

Rod A

Looks amazing! Eventually I can work on my engine, but body and paint come first.
