3 pulley set up for new motor

[just4bob50]

Alright guys Im getting ready to finally put my new Dart motor into the LX. This car will be a fair weather street/strip car. So Ive decided to go with a Flaming River manual rack, and no smog equipment. I just want to run the crank,water pump, and alt. My first thought was to swap water pumps ( standard rotation ), but I dont know if anyone makes a pump that has the same length snout. Then I wanted to run underdrive pulleys but, I wont be able to run the ones for EFI 5.0.

I also found this set up through a friend that has a FF cobra kit car.

Has any one else done this, and which do you guys think is easier. I like the kit in the link, but do you guys think there is enough wrap on water pump.

I am doing the same thing. I got a WP for a 85 Mustang and a pulley for a 85 (I think) Thunderbird, from Autozone. The WP is standard rotation, and the pulley is ribbed for a serp. setup. I am also getting the $20 adj. alt. bracket from Summit.

Im using the stock brackets and tensioner, stock pulleys and I believe a 45 1/2" belt it works fine, is nice and taught, and I think looks cool... also has plenty of wrap on the wp pulley, its also pretty dam cheap, I think it was like $30 for the belt though, I got a good one..

That sounds like a good idea, can you post some pics, and details.

come to think of it, I dont think I need one, it still turns the stock way so I should be good...

Unless Im wrong your belt is on the opposite side of the pump pulley, so it would be turning the opposite direction.
