You'll need to decide what route to take. All I can do is relate my experiences with a 6-71 on Pontiac V8s, mostly the M/T hemi. First off, two keys aren't needed for a 6-71. My hemi (370 c.i.) made 900 HP (sometimes to 9,000 RPM) for eleven seasons using just a single 3/16" key. I always used one full-length key to drive both the timing gear and the blower hub, to reduce stress-risers at ends of the keys.
