Drive pulleys?????

I am looking ahead towards the completion of my 305 to 350 swap. I just want to be looking for needed parts on the way. I have a 90 350 going onto an 83 Z28 with T-5. I noticed the harmonic balancers of the 2 motors are different in size. The 305 is thicker. I had planned on using the 305 pulleys (all V-belt), but I am wondering if the grooves will align. The 350 had a serpentine system that I only have the crank pulley. Any suggestions or can I use the 305 crank pulley with out too many mods to the other accessory mounts?

Re: Drive pulleys?????

The drive accessories will swap without issue between, no mods needed. They're "thickness" will not alter the fact that the crank snout betwen the 2 engines sticks out the same, so the mounting bolts of the 2 dampers sits at the same position in relation to each block.
