Need help with pulleys 72' Cutlass 442

I am doing a complete restoration on my 72' Cutlass. It is a 350 4 bbl with an aluminum intake and aluminum short shaft water pump. I am having problems with the pulley that goes on the water pump. The shop that is doing the work took my old engine as a core, and built me a new one. Somewhere along the line the pulleys went missing. Can someone please tell me what pulley I need, and does anyone have one that may work. The car is a 350 no air with power steering. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Joe

The shop needs to find the old ones or buy you some. That is just bad business losing stuff like this. Any shop that is doing a engine swap knows you need to keep all the brackets and pulleys.

I agree, and talked with the owner today. They will reimburse for the pulley's, and he feels terrible they lost them. Things happen, and this is the first incident I have had. I just hate it when you change the intake and waterpump then its a battle to get things to line up. It is also frustrating that the car is very close to being done, but stupid little stuff keeps popping up. I was hoping to have it done for the Woodward Dream Cruise....That aint happening...Maybe it will be done for the Santa Claus Parade in December...lol!
