The engine I have is a '88 Mustang 5.0 with a '70 front timing cover on it. I need a water pump pulley and a crank pulley. Do I buy them for an '88 or for a '70? And does anybody have some that I can buy or know where I can get them?
i believe in 65 the crank pulley went from 3 bolts to 4 bolts so make sure its a late model pulley do you plan on running a serp belt or a v-belt?
serp belt or v-belt setup will make the deciding decision when it comes to pullies. as for the 3 and 4 bolt crank pullies, all 289's had 3 bolt pullies and 302's had 4 BTW, if ur going to run a v-belt i might be able to help with the brackets and pullies
You come through as usual Send me a PM with prices and stuff for the brackets and pulleys. Mainly, water pump, alternator and crank.
i had a 69 mustang with a 302 with a 3 bolt pully. what water pump are you useing? the one for a maverick or the one for the mustang?
that's kinda weird, unless someone changed it (they're balanced the same so they should be interchangable)
you're gonna find out that the 88 motor has a wider harmonic balancer. If you are going to v belt, the water pump pulley is gonna be off. I had to shim mine out i bellieve. pretty sure i redrilled the crank pulley from an early 302. I think someone makes a conversion balancer, it's not cheap though. good luck. serpentine is easier, but I think it's as ugly as hell. Then there's the whole water pump thing......
i didnt have any problems with mine. im running a '91 HO engine with the v-belt setup and everything lines up perfect
my engine is an 86 ho , maybe it's the water pump that threw it off?? All I know is it was a pain, as I also had to move the alternator out to to line up...it was fabrication city...
