small block 8v and 16v

[General Baxter]

are these the same width,?

i only need to know as ill be running a mutli belt on my 8v,


i know the mutli pulley on a 16v nearly touches the chassis leg but what about an 8v ?

[BIGS]

nope ive got the muti pully on my 16v and its loads of room

[ck]

its down to the engine bay tolerances. the block is the same width between 8v/16v (block almost identicle tbh)

some cars have plenty of room with a multi-v belt some however rub the chassis leg under hard cornering (like 20xe's)

is there any perticular reason for running the multi-v belt setup? and do you know what you need to use for the tensioner for it?
