From what I read, SC400TT and Steve Chumo are the dudes. Mickesanda is in the process and has a pretty big thread HERE. There are likely others.
Take a peek at those threads to see who knows whats up and PM them.

Good Luck

Aren't you the guy that posted pics of shop to show credibility? You should be able to look at the bracket and see how it would attach the unit to the engine, then based off that and the engines rotation decide if that unit works for you. Right?

seems simple enough to see which way the pulleys that are currently on the motor are spinning.

My Powerdyne is reverse rotation. Afaik most of these centrifugal units are made to be mounted with the pulley facing the front of the car, so you need a reverse rotation unit for the fish bracket setup.
