Putting a dart 427 into my 66. The car has stock front end with all the Church boys racing suspension and radiator. What front drive is everyone using?

The Holley mid-mount accessory drive is tough to beat. It installs easy and uses a Corvette cartridge style water pump which is readily available and easy to change as needed down the road. It’s also very compact and doesn’t use any mounting brackets so belt alignment isn’t an issue. I’ve been super happy with mine in my Camaro and plan to use it again in my Nova build.

I second the Holley mid mount. Hands down.

Looks like a beautiful setup but a bit out of my budget. What was everyone doing before the Holley setup?

I would get ride of the old front clip it makes everything so much cleaner buy Chucks clip since you have his other parts watch out if your running AC.

Are you running AC ? F-body acc are mid mount but not sure on a stock front end. Pretty sure the AC won’t fit. Mine is the GTO acc, but basically the same.

I used the March Performance on my 67. Vintage Air and stock front end.

Well, read your post again. My setup is on a SBC but they have units for BBC. Don't know if the A/C compressor will be an issue.
