Bobby, do you know what year it is. I am not familiar with when the short and long water pump was on the 302. I do have the complete Serpentive drive system with P/s pump, A/C compressior, alternator, etc on a 302 Block out of an 84 Lincoln Mark 7 in my youngest brothers garage, if that will work.

Let me know, yours, for the asking. I would just have to pull it off the motor.

Duane thanks for looking .


These are only on 88 to 92 Cougar , T-birds and 94 -95 Mustangs . Also i believe they are on 96-97 Explorer and Mountainer.s . with the 5.0 V8 (302)

I ended up making my own alternator bracket, mainly cuz I thought I had to put it on the left side of the engine instead of the right!!!!

Dave i was thinking of that . I would first need the alt to see some idea of what would be involved . Im reading that these are of more compact style then the standard ones.

Oh ya, they are very small and completely round, at least the one I saw was. The after market ones come in chrome also, very sleek looking.

Brick chrome means polishing and thats out of the question for me . Just want to turn key and drive.

Hey guys,
I havent updated progress in a while other than the thread I have going on rearend setup. Please visit and answer if you've had any experience with this, it's my first attempt. Anyway, frame is back, painted, and front and rear suspentions are under construction. Here's a few shots:

The frame is looking good.

Quick progress frame is looking great . You'll be on a roller in no time it seems . Keep up the progress like seeing it and it helps all to get going .

Chome is fun to me, only place I like alot of it is the engine, ok to be gaudy there I believe. But to each his own, if you love it do it is what I say. Rodding is a blast no matter where you at in it.

Frame is coming along very nicely, won't be long now and body time eh Falconvan?

Brick i agree it looks good . Years ago i peeled plastic of motorcycle and had to semichrome it every spring and a few times in summer , found out this is some very tedious work . I'll park outside and come in and look at yours and go wow sure does look good .


Finally put some rubber on front rims i found at the local salvage a couple 205-65-R15s . The rims kept tracking at some good numbers . Measured out tracking still at 56 in the front and a little over 58 in the rear . A shot in the dark paid off i wasn't for sure these rims would fit as well as they do .

Now the 15s will help me move along with some plumbing on the brakes . I couldn't mount calipers with the 14s i was rolling it on . I think i read in some mag where they sell the rubber line kit with brackets and clips to plumb the wheels and rear end . Since im building a driver steel lines will move it along quickly .

I would like to say that after investigation I have the right balancer, got the timing adjusted and she is running alot better. Also the adjustments I made to the carb have also helped. So thanks everyone for your help, the car is great fun to drive with alot more response and power.

Brick glad to hear you have it all worked out. Now the big question is did you get a spare set of tires for it yet . . Most cars even though the bugs are there once there squashed they are a fun thing to cruise out in .

Finally got a chance to put in a few hours on my pickup. Got some more of the accessories put on the engine, and yes I know that masking tape will not last long as a serpentine belt!!! Got the dash all buffed and now it's time to put everything together! Bill got the inside of the box painted on his Chevy and put the carpet in. His good front seat is still at the upholstery shop, so he put a spare in the truck for now. Might get both of these pickups done someday!!!!!!

PS--It ain't a hot rod if it doesn't have peep mirrors!!!!!!

Looking really good Dave . Everytime you post a pic its closer to finished and alot of work was done . With all the work i see you doing with the 3 projects im allways in aww. Is that 2 chevy's i see in the pic ? your not tilting from Ford are you LOL.
