Thanks Frank, I'm going to remove the pulley and machine off a little on the spokes to get the clearance needed between the mount and pulley.
Thanks for your time, Dave

Thanks Frank, I'm going to remove the pulley and machine a little material off of the spokes to get the clearance needed between the pulley and front engine mount.
Thanks for your help, Dave

Update on Crank Pulley rubbing on the Front Engine Support. I removed the pulley and chucked it up in the lathe with the crank sleeve portion facing away from the chuck. The three spokes had a slight curve on the back side making them thicker than stock. I set the compound slide at an angle and machined off the curved area, Probably taking off .075" or so. Reinstalling the pulley went well. The only tricky part was trying to get the slot on the pulley shank to line up with the woodruff key it the crank. That took a few tries since you can't see the woodruff key with the oil pan and front timing gear cover on. The two rope seals did not move at all.
Thanks to all who had info for me.
