Mike Brichta Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Hey guys, I need all (4) pulleys for a 396 BBC engine. Alternator, Power Steering (2 groove), Water Pump (long), Crank/Damper (3 groove for AC). I have all of these from a 350 SBC engine. Can any of the 350 pulleys be used on the 396 engine? If not, does anyone have any that they are willing to sell? Or know of a good source for them? Thanks!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I will call my brother for you he might have a set. Don’t hold me to this but I think all bbc are the same. I don’t think small block will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I ordered pulleys when I did the crate upgrade, I'm pretty sure I got them from TPP. My original 454 and the new crate are short water pump. Actually the crate came with a long WP but I switched it to a short so all my accessories and such would be the same.

zmanabba Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 It's been awhile but IIRC I used the pulley set from a mid 70's chevy truck. Sourced from Ebay and I don't have a clue on the vendor name but there are plenty out there. The alternator is the same you just need the big block mounting brackets also from the truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brichta Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 After a lot of looking around and talking to other people I am going with the assumption that all SB pulleys can be used on a BB engine, except the crank pulley. All of the brackets (AC, Alt, PS) are all different. I will let you know if I find out later that something is different. Thanks!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
