    OK.

    I got a good look at Derek5.0's set up last weekend. Same deal with the smooth water pump pulley. He says it doesnt slip and runs cool and if you guys have seen him shift I'm sure the belt isnt going to come off if it stays on his car. His are off a Crown Vic I think he said. Going to swap mine over when I get the alternator and electric fan finally installed.

    Do you have any details on getting that power steering pump hooked up? Custom hoses?

    (Reverse waterpump is needed with that setup)

    Yup smooth waterpump pulley doesn't slip at all.Somethings goofy with my waterpump because took all pulleys off of 5.0 crown vic and put them on 5.0 in my Comet and the top and bottom pulleys hit.So thats why i went with the smooth mustang reverse pulley and it has worked flawless.Heres a old pic.
