I am planning on somewhat switching to fox accessory style but will use March brackets for alternator and powersteering. Once I switch timing cover and water pump over will my balancer be ok? I am a little confused here because converting to fox will move accessories outward. Balancer will still be in same location. Wouldn't the belt not line up at this point? I suppose the fox pulley sits out more possibly?

This is what I thought. Do you know about the crank pulley? Would this need to be changed also?
