I am rebuilding a '61 261 that will be going in a "stock" 37 chev 2 dr sedan. Do they make a 2 pulley groove damper for this engine? Any clearance issues with fan? Am thinking down the road of putting in IFS w/power steering hence the second pulley, or can I just use the single pulley for all?

How long is the 261 compared to the 216? There's not much clearance in the front. My '38 coupe is pretty tight with it's 216.

Yes, a 2 groove pulley was available. It mostly came with added power steering. Also, used on the V8 version. Tiny has a legitimate question regarding clearance in your '37. I do not have clearance in my '50 AD for a 2 groove pulley.
