Just curious to see what everyone is running for front drive set up on a Big Block Mopar/HEMI with a front plate & vacuum pumps? I currently have the electric Mezeire water pump motor in the stock aluminum water pump housing. Just need to come up with something to drive the alternator & vacuum pump.

Who's mandrel or set up is that? I think it is a Petersen BBC drive kit that I modified to work on a Mopar.

I made one for my friends Big Block, I didn't allow for the engine to be turned over, so I will be making it again with a drive in the front.

I turn mine with the crank bolt, no issue. Doug What keeps the crank bolt from backing out if you try and turn motor backwards

Always taught the Jessel belt should only go forward. Haven't had a need to turn it backward. Not sure if the engine rotational break away torque would exceed the break away torque of the crank bolt. It would have to exceed 135lb/ft. Doug

I agree 100% with using a chevy pattern front on your balancer. One issue it creates with some of the drives it attachment due to the size of the bolt and the way the balancer sits in a BB Mopar. We modified my Peterson to work with a stock bolt and washer set up. Or they sell spacers to go between the hub of the spline drive and balancer. We did not like the way the spacer looked so just modify the spline drive hub to work with no spacer
