For what it is worth and on the off-chance that someone might like to know. The pulleys can be changed to a more modern narrow style. I bought the sizes I wanted at a local auto wrecker, aka recycler, and turned them to fit the IHC pulley centers which were turned down to act as drive flanges. On another engine, a Ford C69A Flat V8, I turned shaft adapters for the crank and water pumps then drilled and tapped Ford serpentine pulleys to attach them to the shaft adapters. The 1947 C69A runs a separate multi-grove serpentine belt for an Eaton M92 Supercharger.
While not for everyone, I suppose, If a person has a need for mild complication this is a nice entry level headache. A little bit of over the top stuff will take your Binder from, "Did you see that old truck?" to "come with me and have a look at what this guy did."
BTW: I bought two of thee Eaton Blowers for $300 at the auto wrecker. These huffers are off the Ford Thunderbird SC. If you decide to go this route, make sure you get the increasingly rare T'bird crank pulley. The pulley was worth as much as the blower.
