Well, I am in the process of rebuilding my 85 Mustang SVO motor, and I want to switch from the v-belt setup to the serpentine belt setup. Is this an easy task, and how would I go about doing this conversion. Do I just take the setup of the later 2.3L Mustang, and out it on there.

Thanks,
Donald

It's pretty easy. Basically do as you stated. It's easiest to use the late model AC and PS pump rather than trying to swap pullies...

I swapped the pulley on my ps pump but did swap everything else out. I did it this way mainly because my ps pump was brand new and the one on the donor car was very questionable at best
