Just curious if you guys have seen the latest Mopar Action (April 2014) article where a company (SDconcepts.com) has come up with some adapters and brackets to use 1992-1998 Magnum pulleys on your big/small block. I do see some of the advantages Ehrenberg points out over the V belts (especially for A/C stuff). Just wondering what you guys think about it and if it's worth it, and if you would do it to your ride?

So where besides some mopar rag can we see and read more about this? Quote:
hey guys, this is my kit. we welcome all the comments and feed back good or bad. the kits have been in production for about 10 years now in various configurations. they started in cast aluminum as they were modified factory peices. now everything is cnc machined 6061 aluminum. we will be doing a billet pulley kit as well for those who don't want to go junkyard hunting for parts. also we have an alternator only kit, as well as an a.c kit, and are bringing out a low mount ac kit.
small block stuff is coming too. sometimes the wait take a while but we don't release anything until its perfect.
who is that guy?

the kit does all the use of some junkyard parts. however all the brackets and spacers and bolts are provided in the kit we sell. more info can be found at www.sdconcepts.com, my web guy is behind on updating our site with the new info so if there is anything specific you need to know about let me know.

but for my money, just about everything that Rick EBooger has done in developing and promoting reasonable and solid upgrade options, is quite frankly some of the best Tech out there. His ideas and concepts won't break the bank either. I have incorporated his brake technology, electrical, and others to great success. Keep at it Rick as I for one am a big fan and supporter.... 
Totally agree, everything doesn't have to be the latest greatest gizmo designed (mainly) to separate you from your money.

Hey guys thanks for your replies, and Jerry, thanks for making this product for us Mopar guys! I am going to order a kit for my 65 Belvedere when the 440 is ready to drop in with A/C. I do like the stuff E booger writes, one of the main reasons I read Mopar Action besides the good humor they have in their articles.

I like having the alt, p/s, a/c and tensioner available anywhere for replacement. These parts are easily sourced, especially if you are broke down on a sunday in the middle of nowhere. Can you say that about the packages from other companies? This is one of my pet peeves with some of the brake packages available too. Its why I got my stuff from Dr. Diff. Having trick a/m stuff blows when you can"t get replacement parts. Just because it looks cool isn"t enough of a selling point for me. Hooray for SDR! Will be ordering when I can swing it.
