Danny Bee Belt System

I have a few questions I need help with. If I go to a Danny Bee Belt System will I have issues with my motor plate mounting up in the same position?
What are the benefits of going to a belt timing system? Is it worth it?

if your plate bolts between the wp and the tc you are fine.

It does, Thanks

when you bolt it to the front you will have to build some spacers to gap the distance but that is no big deal.....Enjoy

And....
If you need a new motor plate all carved out to show off the Danny....or a bolt-on timing pointer...

what spacers?

for the top bolts.

no hill for a stepper..................I made my own plate and spacers..............

Any bolts/studs above the four water pump bolts are for looks/feel good..... get the four at the pump and the two down by the pan rail.

fwiw my oil pump and stuff is in the way, I couldn't get the bottom holes, so thus why I used spacers and caught the top, I also have one bolt and spacer connecting each cyl head to the plate.

Thanks for the response, my engine is a 557 runing petty good, thinking of a cam change doing the off season, and I was thinking of the belt drive timing assembly, looks cool, but what are the benefits, or should I just wait till I can step up with the big boys with a 600 plus cu inch?

it'll benefit you 557 just as good as it will a 600, only down side is the cost, upside is easy cam adjustments, less harmonics, no sloppy chains........looks cool etc.

Well uh....all the more reason to use the bottom bolts...mount the oil pump on the plate.
If one has to do the bolt the plate to the head thing it just means that the front plate is too thin.

Baller stuff eh!
