Dual pulley Damper

airbrushguy

I am testing out a paxton supercharger on my 262 '49 sedan and I need a dual pulley damper for the setup. 
Does anyone have one, know where I can get one or could give me specifics about making mine into one??
Thanks

 Not sure if applicable for a damper pulley but I welded 2 pulleys together to make a 5" water pump pulley to speed up my water pump by 28%. Stopped my overheating.

23 photos relating to that job.

Ken U. posted this a few years ago  -  Here's the 36988-05 Mopar Pulley like I have, it's 5-13/16" OD only 3/16" more than the NOS 54 double groove pulley. Can try your local wrecking yard. Seems to fit late80'd thru early 90's 318 V-8's with AC.

airbrushguy - PLEASE post pics!! I'd love to see a supercharged 262 in progress?  Is the Paxton off a Studebaker?

While a paxton is ok, the early ones are just not as reliable as a turbo. There was a blue 51 pacemaker coupe with turbo at the last two nationals. Very nicely done and is driven everywhere.

I have 3 or 4 of the double groove dampers.  You can email me:  HETrlchilton52@gmail.com (drop the HET before sending).  I could part with one of them, if you need it.

Thank you RL, I have emailed you.
For those who asked, I do suspect the turbo would be more reliable and better performance boost but I wanted this car to look period and that aspect is even more important than performance. I do want to reap the benefits of the supercharger but I have other cars that are extremely quick and I'd like this to surprise people looking under the hood by making them wonder if it was factory.
Maybe odd, but I like my cars to have a theme.
Thanks

Richard D, great photos. I would be interested in more specifics about what pulleys you used and how you went about it, centering, balancing etc.
Although my present interest is the supercharger, I had a '51 when I was in high school and I remember how atrociously hot it used to get when it sat with windows closed in the summer. So AC may be in the future.
Thanks everyone

Hard to find a 5" pulley but fits Ford 6 cylinder from 65-67 Mustang 6 cylinder 200 CI. search eBay. Doing it is basic stuff. Pulley # C5DE-8509-A; 2 of these.

That's not odd.  That's great.  I do the same.

If I understand your question, You are looking for the dual belt engine driven harmonic balancer?  One can be created from a single by grinding the front lip off a standard single balancer and bolting on a Chevrolet small block double pulley.(available from many speed shops)  Of course that process should be done with precision.

airbrushguy

Interesting Dave....except I think I better put a post up asking for a stock balancer, in case I run into problems with my original one.
Thanks
