Here is a continuation of a problem I posted last week, this time with pics! It occurred to me that adding a 2-row crank pulley won't immediately solve my problem:
My "problem" as stated before was that I only had a 1-row crank pulley, and want to add PS. The pulley on the PS pump I have (Not shown, 3FE pump, mounted to the passenger-side head) interferes with the fan. From the pics, you can see that my fan is positioned FAR away from the radiator, seems to me it should be way closer, at least inside the radiator shroud.
The alt pulley currently rides on the FORWARD WP pulley, and seems to line up well with the single crank pulley.
So if I were to swap out the crank pulley with a 2-row pulley/balancer, the additional pulley MIGHT line up with the PS pulley (good), except that the fan is in the way.
If I were to swap out the PS pulley with one that has less "dish" and misses the fan, then it won't line up with the new crank pulley, and then WTF do I do with the alt belt?
I think the WP pulley is the culprit, it looks like it rides way too close to the engine, and subsequently positions the fan too far back; it's also why the alt belt wants to ride in the forward groove instead of the rear.
If the WP pulleys were farther forward, it would move the alt belt to the aft position, hopefully move the fan forward to clear the PS pulley, then the PS pulley could run to the new, added crank pulley position.
Thoughts?
