Can I assume the Aluminum pulleys are custom machined?

The pulleys are March big block Chevy. I did have to machine adapters to the Stude balancer, and water pump. (I had to space it out to line up with blower belt)Bez Auto Alchemy

Very nice work. Wish I'd gone ahead with a serpentine for my Packard. The water pump was the problem. Since the belt isn't in place, we have to imagine the path, but most serpentine systems run the water pump on the back of the belt, thus reverse rotation. Can you show us you belt path?
EDIT - over on the Studebaker Racing site were the answer to how the water pump is driven - two belts.
The belt for the supercharger goes over the tensioner, to the blower, over the water pump, back to the crank. The accessory belt goes over the AC clearing the w-p, over to the alt, and to the power steering pump, back to the crank. Tension is adjusted by turn buckle on AC. The power steering pump is a KRC remote reservoir, and also powers the hydro boost power brakes. Even if there is very little or no engine vacuum, there will be power brakes functioning as long as the engine is running.

That is truly a work of ART alright, good job Brad. The only Stude. Engine that resembles is the Duo Cento dual supercharged Injected V8 or maybe a Novi Indy. Engine!
I can't see anything stock Studebaker there except part of a water Manifold, what kind of Charger is THAT?StudeRich
