junk yard I got my parts of a 85 mustang except for the water pump pulley is off a crown vic because belt rides on top of pulley

If you want to run a serpentine system the first thing that needs to be considered is that you will need to get a reverse rotation water pump which in turn will require that you have the outlet on the bottom of the radiator moved to the drivers side of the car to accomadate the new outlet position of the reverse rotation water pump. Then all you need is the brackets and pullys from any late model mustang. There may be other unforseen or mentioned complications, it seems that there always is.

Good luck.

When I swapped out my 300/6 for a new 95 302HO I had to change the radiator, water pump, fan, and timing chain cover. I bought the belt pulleys and brackets off a 92 F-150 for $250 at a bone yard. I used all new parts (except for the junk yard parts) and haven't had to touch it in 3 yrs. I only wanted to do it once.

There is not a cheap way to do it, unless you likr working on the same thing all the time. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
