Thinking about an under drive crank pulley for my 305, good idea?

I happen to have these underdrive pulleys for a reverse-rotation engine.

For reference, the original crank pulley on my 1998 L31 is 8" diameter.

If somebody wants them...

“Reverse rotation” means the fan / water pump spins opposite the engine rotation.

These are the pulleys you and I have discussed prior.

Post some pictures of the front of your engine’s accessories, showing at least the crank pulley, alternator and water pump pulley.

reverse rotation motors are used in boats with dual I/O's... one motor spins opposite rotation of the other. Your truck motor is not reverse rotation.

For those pulleys pictured it doesn't matter if reverse i/o, round is round. The only one that would probably be an issue would be the alternator pulley.. the cooling vanes would be opposite of what you need.
