Considering trying to put a serpentine setup from a 96 model 460 on my 78 Bronco with a 73 model 460.
Anyone done this and got it to work with a saginaw style PS pump. What'd you about the alternator??
Thanks

if memory serves me right you'll need the bracket from a van that will cover the saginaw pump.

i just did this with 92 parts on a 78 -460. i used the stock 92 ford power steering, alternator and ac pump though.

if you can get the 96 alt use it too - it is better than the pos early style - i think you must use the water pump too -
my truggy is getting a mod'd serp belt set up - more on it in a few weeks

Dumb question, but, while I have examples of both in close vicinity, I am not close to them... LOL
Is the water pump the same legnth between the V-belt engine and a serpentine engine?
I'm putting a 97 fuellie shortblockblock into my 86, and I'm debating if I'm going to do the serpentine or v-belt.

yes the pump is the same length ( well my 85 460 was the same as ithe 90 i got the pulleys from )
but the mounting holes and tabs are a little diffrent

my 92 brackets bolted right on my 78s pump and all the pulleys lined up fine.

1993-97 460's use a different water pump but I don't know how different the pulley is spaced from the pump body.
