Just bought 1970 mav. 6 cyl.

Could've used late 80's Crown Vic pulleys (standard rotation water pump) and not have the alternator up in the clouds.

 

That may well have the std rotation pulleys, but alt bracket is from '60s.

Here's the '86-'91 panther setup with low mount smog & A/C deleted(mounted directly across from alt). Smog ran from the main belt, while the A/C used a separate belt. Having owned a '86 I know it well.

 

So what's your point? I was trying to convey, evidently unsuccessfully, that less expensive pulleys and stock-type brackets could be used in a standard rotation serpentine setup that keeps the alternator down in the stock position for our cars. I dunno, maybe the OP prefers a high mount alternator. Just throwing another option out there.

 

Point is, you've taken a sows ear & turned it into a silk purse but not explained the process. For something as complicated as mix & match Ford pulleys/brackets, every bit of info is pertinent. I'd bet 99% would open a Crown Vic hood & expect to see setup as you are using it. That said, I fully agree with results, most shiny & expensive pulley setups are gaudy.

The same alternator bracket is on my '69 Fairlane. Requires the spacer you added to fit the '70-up type pump with driver side outlet.

 

I've always thought so too...

 

I actually thought the brackets and pulleys were from a crown Vic. Thanks for telling me they are different parts from different vehicles.
To be honest I do like the fox mustang factory alternator bracket n tensioner set up.

 

Yukon third member is in, new drum brakes, Detroit locker, 4.11 gears and Quick Performance 31 splibe axles.

 

Just bought my wheel ventiques 15x5 and 15x8,
From summit. Tires will be 205 70 15 and Nittos 275 60 15's. Love the dog dish poverty caps look.

 

Got tires installed on the rims with the poverty caps, love the look.

 

Motor and aod transmission are in, Edge 9.5" 3400 stall converter. Now just trying to figure out how to fab or adapt the trans cross member.

 

I went ahead and built my Ford aod transmission crossmember, went to a local steel warehouse and bought 1' , 2"x4" square tubing, 2" 1"x2" square tubing, total cost $10. I watched a video on YouTube on a guy doing one for an early mustang with aod. It was very simple, only problem I don't know how to weld, I just tack welded it all together, will have my friend finished it off.

 

That's what I did when I did an AOD swap into my 72 Grabber back in 2000. Before we had the great internet we do now and all the parts there is also. I still do that today. I had to alter the steering linkage and made air enclosures to direct the airflow to the radiator for cooling.

 

Nice w

Nice work on all those projects! Wondering if the airflow deflector made much improvement?

 

It does. I actually put a mechanical temp gauge under the hood so I could watch the temp at stops and just moving down the road. With and without the front spoiler. You can really see the difference. You'd be surprised how fast and high the air temp goes under the hood at a stop. I put it at different spots just to see. That's why on my 68 Cougar I have louvers in back on the sides over the exhaust.

 

Aod cross member done, bought a new gas tank and had a local guy weld a fox mustang gas tank sump too. Summit street and strip front shocks done too.
