OK Guys,

How do I tell if I already have the short pump (I really can't imagine that, by the way)? Does someone have the dimension from the front face of a head to the outside end of the pump snout?

What I have are flat belts, but not a serpentine set-up. I'd agree that going to two layers of belts is the idea. I hope I have a long pump installed. Changing that might allow putting the oil pump belt outside the other belt. This would put the longest dimension in the place it can be best tolerated.

I believe that a length of 6" to 6 1/2" from the head would be idea. Currently it is at 9" ... way too long and longer than the engine in my Cobra which is (I believe) built with a pretty stock serpentine setup).

Again ... Thanks Fellas!!!!
