I saw an Aussie belt drive system on Facebook today. They are supposedly rare and run around $800. Are there any in the US? Have I been living under a rock?

I've got a used standard cam hemi Jesel belt drive setup that I want to adapt to a slant. It does not look too hard to do, either cut the crank or build a thin spacer for the cam. It is way down the on the list of things I need to do. Do you want to take on the project? Mark |

Since the big block (and Hemi) crank sprocket and chain are the same as on the slant, I would think it shouldn't be too difficult to modify the cam sprocket to fit. Of course, I am sure it is easier said than done..... |

Are there any horsepower gains to be had there? |

Jeff Droll used to make the spacer for the cam sprocket. Years ago he sent me the dimensions. I would bet Seymour still has them. Isn't Hemi a 3 bolt cam? Rick, it makes the timing very stable, but mainly it looks bad-ass.  Mark, sounds like a good project for all my spare time.
