Moving along on my 351 build and will stick with the stock two belts and not going serpentine.

I know there are the adapter brackets below to swap things over, but are there other bracket options for the alternator and Delphi pump that wont require the adapters?





Also, any recommendations for decent priced crank and water pump pulleys for the 351?

Thanks and hope all are having a great Labor Day !

I used the original eb 302 style brackets with the 351w adapters and motorsport style sbf reduction pulleys to match the 4-bolt balancer in the 351w. Also used the vendor supplied Saginaw bracket. Also wh sells a driver side timing pointer and use timing tape to remark the balancer for easier timing. If you're using the eb 302 water pump the stock timing pointer will be buried under the lower radiator hose. Also I did the swap almost 30 years ago so there may be more better balancer pulley options available now.

Do you not have the original Bronco pulleys off the old engine? Use those.


I may as a last resort. I was planning on the new motor to have everything new as possible and hoping the sell the pulled motor as complete as possible (runs really well), but that maybe the right thought to save a few bucks. Thanks,
