so i kinda found a belt. need a little bit shorter one cause the tensioner keeps snapping into a locked position and not really putting tension on it.

looks like this might work.

thats probably not a bad idea seeing how your belt is really long between pulleys.

yeah getting alot of likes on the SVTCHVY one. might just do it.

i either might fab some together using stock style badges or have the chick that made my other badges make me some.

anyways got the trans mounted but realized the torque convertor i got with the trans might need spacers. so i might swap to a stock convertor that i have that i believe was rebuilt. might do a stall later.
