I had one on my v8 ranger build but can't remember what it came off of. Any ideas or anyone got one?

Thanks!

96 to 01 Explorers and Mountaineers are what you will want to look for.

Yep, you are right. He did mention V8 Ranger and I know the Explorer serps are commonly used to make it fit but I'm sure there might be other options as well... 'my bad. :)

How efficient are standard rotation water pumps with a reverse rotation serp setup on them?
Or are you currently using a serpentine setup, and just need a pulley to complete it?

Reverse rotation water pump pullies are smooth I need a ribbed one like alt etc. I had a 351w in my ranger and had one on it but can't find one now :)

I am running avv belt setup now so WP is stock rotation. I just want to switch to serpentine belt and keep rotation the same.

Interesting. So do you run an idler/tensioner, or just use the stock type of adjustment to keep the serp belt adjusted?
Sounds like a decent way to get some added traction from a single belt on a stock setup.

Even though the grooved pulley would be better for belt retention, wouldn't a smoothie work too as long as the crank, alternator and power steering were still the normal grooved with edge ridges to keep things in line?
