Hello, fellas......I retired, got booted out, from the autobody fixit biz at the end of Feb, 2014. I had revived a long dormant project 1951 FORD F1 Panel Truck two years ago and am now in the middle of the engine portion of the project. The 302 engine came from a 1973 Maverick more door, auto, air, & ps. Hence my interest in this site/forum. I'm having dificulty finding Maverick specific mechanical information for the engine, and dare not assume that it is all the same as a 'Stang, or othe FORDs of that year, 1973. I also have a '73 Ranchero, mildly built 351W, AC, PB, PS, AOD, and nothing below the valve covers looks the same. I had originally done the major buiild work on the Mav engine over thirty years ago including +.020 TRW forged pistons, home ported heads, 260 Comp Cam, and am now into finishing up the externals: Edelbrock F4B intake & valve covers, MSD RTR dizzy, shorty SS 'Stang headers, and ARP SS bolt package. Over the years I have lost track of most of the external accessories for this mill including most of the front dress, belts, pulleys and brackets for the full load. I had no idea what went where so I started with the waterpump, left lower hose, Found some AC brackets and dummied up a York compressor. Found more brackets for the PS, but since the donor car was totaled on the LF, the PS slotted adjusting bracket is bent and also may need spacers. Finally figured out the alternator mounting using an aluminum adaptor bracket on the right head. So now my quest and questions are: 1) What kind of waterpump pulley do I need, I'm thinkin' 2V. 2) What four bolt crank pulley do I need, 3V?. 3) And how are the the three drive V belts arranged? 4) Also are the rubber motor mounts the same or different left to right, they are side specific on my Ranch. Any help from out there, pictures would be most helpfull.....RooDog
