Thanks Alan,

I guess I should have specified before.. I'm considering installing them on the
3.9 V6.

     They don't make pulleys for the R/T. The water pump pulley is pressed
on instead of bolted on. They will work on a 318 though. I did some
asking around at the track, most people just use the crank pulley. The
alt/water pump are trouble on the street. The motor overheats and the
alternator undercharges. On top of that, of the 15 or so hp you get from
underdrive pulleys, about 8 comes from the crank pulley. Only a couple
hp in each accessory. So if you go with pulleys, just use the crank.
