Love it!!
I took my front clip off when I stuffed my 454 in there too
Oh that belt I am using is a 1" Cog (positive drive) from Black Mountain

At the time I was getting my 454 tuned up, my alterator Vbelt set up was just not holding, especially offroad with a load on the engine, slippin and the belt getting hella hot. A buddy of mine had the 2" version on his 67 comaro.
The 1" solved all my issues. Direct drive cog belt so no slipping. Awesome!
I still use a Vbelt for my power steering pump.
