idk much about dampers but i think start with a stock style one and once u make a profit start adding other designs like the hipo and the other ones

the only problem I see with resleeving is either having it done but the customer or doing it on a core basis. I do have two each of 3 and 4 bolt stock dampers so I could start on a core basis but would rather have many more on hand in that case sinceI know I will have a core that never comes in or such. what I am seeing right now is this....
1. stock damper hub with a new sleeve on it. spacing will stay the same as stock 2 groove pulley (the two groove is wider than a serp belt so I can leave a small gap at the rear) a toothed gear for the crank trigger could be pressed into the backside of a stock hub.
2. New water pump pulley. I could prob easily do a standard overdriven pulley and a extra overdrive pulley.
3. new alternator pulley. stock diameter so no over/under drive on it.
I think this will require the fewest parts to be machined. once I get it all drawn up I will see what it would run if I went with a new crank hub and/or pushed out spacing on the pulleys. I really wished i had a full CNC shop so I could just run these parts on my own time instead of paying shop time.

Can you do quality CAD drawings? If so, maybe the66mustang could make these for you for a good price as he has a CNC machine. you'd have to pay shipping from Holland, but aluminum is light.
Also, I'm sure there are manufacturers like March or someone else that already make suitable water pump and alternator pulleys. If so you could buy a set and would only have to prototype the crank pulley as you could basically clone the others. Might save some time and effort on the R&D front.

well the factory pump pulley is an overdrive pulley.
being that I am an ME and do CAD work for a living I would say I coudl crank out decent drawings/models. the alternator pulley is an easy one (I would just source it from someone else) but as far as the waterpump I doubt a suitible one is made with the proper offset and diameter.
so just a resleeve or a all new dampner?
