I picked up the timing chain cover and all the parts from the front of the motor off a 63 galaxie that I think has a 260,I got them since the timing chain cover has a oil fill tube and will work great if I decide to put Y block valve covers on it. I was told they can bring some good money so I decided to look on ebay and seen that the 3 groove crank pulley (mine is a 4 groove) there is a buy it now price of around 250 dollars and the 2 groove water pump pulley had a buy it now of over 100 dollars. Are these pulleys actually worth that much and at first I was thinking about having 2 grooves machined off the crank pulley but not now and came up with a set of the later stamped steel single groove pulleys.
