Anyone know if this is a change on all of the 360's?

The above combination DOES make a BIG seat of the pants improvement,
conservatively, I estimate a 25 hp increase and as much torque.
Everything
went well with one exception, the water pump pulley is pressed on
which meant
I couldn't swap that pulley, had to settle for the crank and
alternator pulley
changes since the water pump pulley was made for bolting on. FYI, the
stock
belt is a 96.8", 7 rib and we determined a 95.8" belt would be
required for
the combo of pulleys installed, caveat- parts places don't have a
large
variety of 7 rib belts, so I temporarily settled for a 6 rib 96.0"
belt which
is working fine, hopefully until I can locate a 7 rib 95.8" belt. I've
been
told the water pump pulley being pressed on is uncommon to the R/T's
and must
be a mid-production change, anybody know about this?
Next is the test pipe, distrib cap w/ brass contacts and shift
firmness kit
which I hope will keep me happy for a while.
