    Okay, so it's possible. But I was under the impression that the hot rod guys hadn't adopted them until the 60s.
    Not arguing, just find it interesting.

    Just found this in another thread.
    "I built a Chysler in late 1955 with a Scot blower on it to replace my 12 port GMC engine. Weiand gave me a 4 carb manifold that I fabricated a rectangular log manifold on top. I believe that Don Yates had built a blown flathead with a Gilmer belt drive that was shown in a magazine and Don's engine also made a few passes in Art Chrisman's 25 dragster. I thought the Gilmer belt idea might be good for me. There were no racing pulleys available so I used steel industrial pulleys. Unfortunately the diameters were small and the 2" belts would shear teeth unless I was careful.
    Later I even tried a triple chain drive setup to replace the cost of blower belts. Around 1960 Weiand came out with his blower setup so I switched to a GMC blower and Weiands stuff.
    Proper Gilmer drive pulleys came out in the very late 1950s. Remember in the late 1950s guys like Art Chrisman and Doug Hartelt were trying front drive blowers, but they had some problems. Finally Cragar, Weiand, Delta Machine, Isky and others started making blower drive setups.
    Since Don Yates only ran his Gilmer setup a couple of times perhaps I can claim credit for the first to continually race with a Gilmer belt drive. Who knows?"

  3. That is a home made drive. It is rare to see the Gilmer belt that early. In '59 blowers were either chain driven, V belt driven, or front mounted with a Potvin gear drive.
