I removed the serpentine pulley and only harmonic balancer is now in place. Engine now nestles into the frame with pretty good clearance from cross member and firewall. Looks like I need to find a crank pulley, and water pump/pulley combo that sets closer to the engine. Yes, I have an after-market tubular engine cradle. It looks like the next issue will be that this cradle mounts right where the current stock brake lines exit the frame.
