I had the same problem, although I was using a Lincoln Mark VII bracket which I later found out may be diff than from a Mustang bracket??

So, I've still got that FMS adapter bracket laying around
that wouldn't fit.

I'd love to know, too!!!

power steeriig bracket

the only thing i did when I put my bracket is to cut off one of the threaded ends of one of the water pump bolts. The FMS bracket doecn't have a hole for it to fit. I have A/C. other than that it is a direct bolt on

I may have a pic at home, but will have to wait until tonight to find it.

Hopefully someone can find one sooner.



The Aluminum casting bolts to the head. The steel stamping comes off the p/s pump and water pump.
If that makes any sense at all.

I think i will need a pic. This thing is like Chinese algebra. I feel like Ford took a hunk of metal, drilled a bunch of holes in it and wanted to see how creative I could be with it.

I guess I never took any pics of the p/s setup.

I can't find anything on Google either.


I hate to leave you stranded, but at least I can give you a...

My AC is deleted. I think I figured it out, but the diagram i have is not showing the stock mount working with the frpp bracket. It shows that it only works with the frpp ac delete kit for a 5.0, then you swap to the 351 bracket. With the bracket installed my belt tensioner has nowhere to mount. Where should I mount the belt tensioner? My set-up may be a bit more confusing since i have a vortech s-trim and my alt mounted below on the passenger side.

Can't help you there. That is correct though (if you had the tensioner on the alt bracket)
