Explorer serpentine on 351W?

[kholding]

Just bought an explorer serp set-up for me 351W. Has anyone done this and are there any changes that need to be made to make it work or does it just bolt on? Thanks.

You'll need a 28 oz. damper, the Explorer is 50oz.

just finished, btw don't get aggressive and try to rebuild or change out engine parts too....

Pretty much a bolt on, definitely read the tech article here.... the read it again, and again....
If the Damper/Harmonic Balancer has not been rebalanced, you'll have to send that to DamperDudes. By the gaskets you'll need. Get new bearings for the 3 idler pulleys. You'll have to figure out some creative methods for routing your radiator hoses, and the power steering pressure hose connection, but all of this is covered in the article.
Good luck, anything specific let me know as its still fresh in my mind.
