Just need to get my fuel pump back and order a belt for it.

Fuel pump, vacuum pump, alternator, and big stuff 24-tooth wheel for COP:

That billet piece of aluminum is actually a pretty cool piece that I designed which allows the big stuff wheel to pilot on it while still leaving enough room for it to pilot into the balancer. I also added some depth to it because my mandrel wasn't quite reaching out to where my accessories were located in the axial direction. The adapter also retains the mandrel pilot on the opposite side.

Remote water pump mount:

I'm just getting everything mocked up and fitted and then I'll take it apart and make it look pretty.
 
What made you go with that wheel set up for the bigstuff?
I like running the GM coil on plug stuff so I run an LS1 big stuff box and just give it the same signals it would have in an LS1. This is the same setup we are running on LT1PATs car and similar to what I ran on my old LS1 (except I used stock LS1 cam signal with the external wheel for the crank signal). For a cam signal in a conventional SBC/BBC, we use a GM cam sync that used to come in a bunch of truck's they made so it's plug and play.

As far as what made me want to pilot it like that, nothing in particular I just wanted to maintain all the piloting that it's supposed to have and I also needed to put the wheel somewhere so it was just a matter of killing two birds with one stone...well three actually because I needed to space the drive pulleys out another 1/2" as well.
