anyone know if there are oversized water pump pulleys for gen 3 engines?
The Gen three water pump runs off of the back side(flat part)  of a poly
V belt, and consequently runs the reverse direction of the gen 1 and 2
water pumps. I've not started the engine yet, don't know that I need an
oversize pulley, just checking on prices and availability. I've got a
2.85 / 1 redrive, so I might need to slow down the pump a bit.

Brian,
I went with an undersized eccentric shaft pulley.  My wp pulley was very
close to the eccentric pulley, so an oversize wp pulley wasn't
possible.  The undersized eccentric pulley also slowed down the
alternator.  The original eccentric pulley was 5.5" dia.
