I can actually put it on the shaft about .5" but then it's a pain to get back off. But just from that, I can spin the motor shaft itself quite quickly and even stop it without the pulley spinning. With the key rod in there and a collar on the end holding it all tight, I'm not going to be worried about it.

I'm hoping the belt has enough power to spin the motor up still, but I did get the pulley with 10 ribs in case I need more belt area. It should still work with the normal 5 rib I have however, I just have the option of upgrading if necessary (: Although I guess I'd have to upgrade the belt, the crank pulley, the PS/Alt pulleys too. Hopefully shouldn't be expensive if necessary.

I still haven't started on the wiring at all. I was wanting to get my block heater in and the teardrop finished before resuming work on this.
