Explorer serpentine with aluminum heads

[Calibronc66]

Anyone running the explorer serpentine setup with aluminum heads? I think the heads are throwing my pulleys out of alignment and I might need to space the bracket out from the head. Just wanted to see if anyone else had this problem?

I'm running the Edelbrock aluminum heads on my truck and haven't had issues. one data point for you...

I don't have aluminum heads, but I did have to shim mine with washers in a couple places to get the belt aligned right ( I got Iron ET7E heads). Mine kept slipping off!...

I took off the fan and used a long plastic level, to make sure all my pulleys lined up perfect. The Idler pulley and Power steering pump were off on mine

I did the wild horses Saginaw power steering pump bracket and had to use a bigger spacer then what they provided but now I noticed the alternator is back about a 1/2” about the same thickness I had to add to the Saginaw bracket. Guess I’ll space it then.

I am running a Ford Racing crate 5.0 with aluminum GT40 heads. I did need to put a couple of washers behind the upper half of the alternator bracket set to get a good alignment.

I’m running that setup with no issues. ProMaxx heads.

Edelbrocks here with no issues, except aftermarket PS mount is just not right. With all stock explorer serp it all lined up fine.

I haven't installed it yet but here is a pic.

Hmmm can’t find it on BC’s site. Can you send me a link if it’s on their site curious in case I decide to add ac later.

crap Ima gonna need another high pressure line for sure using that mod.

I thought wild horses had that as well?

I advise against the aluminum crank pulley, heard of issues with aluminum pulley wearing.
