Technical FE GURUS...PULLEY INTERCHANGE ????

A friend is building a 57 Custom 2 door post car, and is having a 352 built for it.
I found out a couple of days ago that the engine was lacking all the pulleys.
Seems like the most important two would be crank and water pump.
He will have PS and AC, but I think they’re aftermarket and brackets could be shimmed.

What I’m asking for him is what other FE pulleys, or combinations, will work? Or interchange?

Thanks!

 

These days the easiest to find are usually the late pickup setups, which give you dual WP and alternator belts and a PS belt, but the pickup PS bracket is very functional but ain't pretty, and sits up pretty high

 

There is a deep and shallow water pump pully. The shallow pump and pully will give you about 2 more inches of clearance to the radiator.

You can see the deep pully. This was just a mockup for my alternator bracket.


This is an aftermarket aluminum pump and shallow pully. Making room for two puller fans to replace the pusher.

 

Here is the set up on my 352 powered '62 Merc. I used the stock pulleys, but moved the AC compressor down to the original generator location (and used those mounts), and placed the alternator above the AC comp. I fabbed the alternator brackets myself and got a universal slotted adjustment arm from Speedway or Summit or some other online shopping place. Power steering pump is stock.

That said, Gene's idea will be the easiest. Most (if not all) FE powered mid 70's pickups should have a dual row crank pulley that will be the bare minimum for that setup. If you can find one in a yard with AC and power steering, grab everything and go.

 

One thing you can do if you have an early 60s 390 from an A/C car, it has dual belts with the generator- so one can swap out the water pump to the alternator style without the pin, re-bracket the alt, and use the dual pulley alt

 

Here’s some stuff I have left over from a 390, gave all the power steering stuff away years ago. Yours for postage.

 

That's a lot of it, missing the other alt bracket and the actual adjuster from that pickup PS mount

 

Ya, I don’t recall what was left of it, just had this stuff in a pile for many years. Hopefully the OP can use it, I’ve no use for it.

 

Thanks @Budget36 !
I will let him know.

@FrozenMerc Thanks for the pictures. He can use them.

 

@Budget36
Told him about your pulleys. He’s going to wait until engine gets finished at machine shop.
Thanks for the offer!

 

JMHO, but if you can't find parts, and you get offered some for postage, might not want to wait lol...

 

All good. At least I have them off the ground...for now

 

Yep. I’m done bird doggin’ parts! Big urgency a week ago. Now....yawn! Go figure.
