Once everything is in perfect working order, they will be offered for sale yes.

You can buy one now if you like unchanged with no updates done to it, but you will have some belt dust to deal with because were working on the belt tracking right now.

that belt wrap thingie that I have seen on here, I know its not going to be a necessity bout would it be a good idea to help with some vibration and some of the tracking issues you speak of?

Could help, but I don't like the design of that belt wrap system. I designed one years ago, that used that boat anchor of a coil bracket as its mounting point. Thats more or less to give you more of a wrap around the supercharger pulley.

The tracking I am having issues with is keeping the belt from shifting side to side on the cog pulleys. With a serpentine belt, it just rides in its grooves on track all the time. Well, I have removed those grooves, and now it can float from side to side easily. The only two that keep the belt in track at this time are the tensioner and the large idler below it just above the crank. Those two pulleys have sides on them to help keep the belt in line. They do a good job, but need some more help.

The pulley thats out all by its self that bolts to the coil bracket is currently being redesigned. I started machining on it yesterday as a matter of fact. When finished, it will look something a lot like these:
(not my pictures, just found them to use as an example - mine will be much tricker looking)



I think the main problem is with the actual belt tensioner pulley, as the Timken bearing I used in it is the exact same as the rest of them, same as stock on the I.D. of it, but when the nut is tight, the pulley has play in it still. The post on the tensioner that sticks up is under sized, which is fine for a stock pulley, but I need zero play, so I am going to machine down the stock tensioner's nub, and then make me a shin/sleeve that can go over it, to make it a good solid snug fit. Thats the current plan of attack though.

Thats why this is a prototype. Working out the bugs so others dont have to.

And helps that belts are only $32.00 each shipped to my door. But the guy is starting to hook me up with a cheaper price if I continue to buy more from him. LOL

The cog belt replacements for the Mustang/Lightning kits are around $150.00 a belt. So ya...I did my home work on suppliers for my set up to save money. That...and I get Kevlar reinforced belts at that too.
