The Ford Barn

hey guys, I'm in the process of building a blower setup for my 8ba motor. it's running an eaton style blower. I need a little help with the drive though. I would rather not do a serpentine belt... original wide truck crank pulley is one belt. I would like to have a pulley that also has a belt between that stock location and the timing cover so that the entire system is no longer than a stock flathead. dual belt drive for the supercharger would be best.

trying to use a ford part instead of a custom pulley, could you use an early dual belt pulley off a late 30's 221?? if i remember correctly these have the belts running closer to the block. I would want the front sheave to line up with the waterpumps and the rear sheave to run up to the blower only. both belts would drive the supercharger.
