I have been doing my best to search the forums here as far as using a modern serpentine setup in an older mustang. My 70 mach 1 was in a fire, and half the original pulleys will no longer rotate.
I thought today I would go down to ecology and take an entire serpentine setup off a 5.0, replace accessories as needed, measure for the belt, and use that. Then I come to find out apparently there are several timing covers? And the rotation of the pump is determined by the timing cover?
The engine I have for the car now is a 351w. I got the core for $50.00, I actually don't know what year it is. A local shop built the bottom end. It was not a originally a roller motor, but I thought I remember the machinist telling me it was a mid 80s engine.
Is there any way to tell what timing cover it has from this picture?
Sorry about the terrible picture, the shop where I am putting the car together is an hour away and I can't get a front pic.
The aftermarket balancer has all the bolt patterns, including the 4 bolt pattern for modern crank pulleys. My 70 mustang was originally driver side radiator, but I don't have a new radiator yet so I guess that could be changed?
I am not sure if I will run a mechanical fuel pump or not, if that is a barrier to the serpentine working then I will use the mallory 140 electric I have for another project.
So any help/ideas? I really don't want to spend a grand on a march setup. What would be the best car to nab a serpentine setup from? There are lots of 5.0s at the local ecology.
