Explorer serp Saginaw pump bracket.

[Stutsmo]

Who makes a bracket to put a saginaw pump on an explorer serp system? I am putting it on a 351W. All I have been able to find is that Wild Horses bracket does not work on the 351. It will only work on the 5.0/302 it Makes me think they might all be like that.

I got mine from BC Broncos.

Keep some washers handy, depending on heads etc, you may have to space the steering pump up a little to get it perfectly lined up with the rest of the serp setup.

he makes the part that holds the idler pully. its a larger version of the 5.0 idler plate. i used this with the WH bracket and it works fine. x2 on the washers. i had to shim a bit to keep the belt on the pully

According to the Broncoguy these could actually be the same bracket. Either way I don't think it will work with my current pump cause I don't have the offset fill... Thanks for the suggestion.

This WH one says it also works on a 351W.
I got it on my 5.0L. 1 piece. Works great with my sag pump.

P.S. I don't have the A/C compressor. No big deal.

I have the one Hammer listed in his link. This thing is a great part. I was super impressed with it. I have used the other mount WH makes on 351w and had to make a new idler plate I think it was because of the difference in height 302 vs 351w. Get the one Hammer listed it’s a really nicely made part and goes right on a 351w. If for some reason you wanted to use the first mount WH you have to get the idler plate for the 351. I actually built two 351w s with the original WH part and casadejohnson made both my idler plates..

Will it accept both styles of the saginaw pump?

Sag pumps have different form factors including the return line.
My question is the return line because I have HBoost and that return has to point aft and the power steering return has to point forward.
Any body have any thoughts on the dual return pump?
It would be good to see how others deal with return connections.

 

[Stutsmo]

well, I just ordered the 351 bracket. I'll post up if I have any fitment issues.

You shouldn't, I have 2 of them, one is on a 351w and the other a 302. Works good.

I have a dual return pump using the sag serp bracket. One of the returns points up and the other forward if I remember correctly. What I do remember is there being no issue with it.
