    Hello,

    I am replacing my water pump and want to replace the water pump and crank pulleys at the same time.

    I have a 302 with the 5.0 HO block. I have No Power steering or A/C. I am currently running a 4 groove crank pulley with the belt in the 2nd groove. I have a water pump pulley that has the engine fan attached. My Alternator is attached using the stanadard Ford brackets and a 1.44 inch spacer. The belt lines up with this set-up.

    I want to get rid of the engine fan water pump pulley and 4 groove crank pulley and replace with a single groove V-Belt Water Pump and Crank pulley set.

    Is there anywhere i can buy a set like this?

    If you are only going to drive the alternatior consider either a simple serpentine set up or a radius tooth cog set up to make it look really trick. www.jonesracingproducts.com

    Those are actually pretty hard parts to find, but if you will find them anywhere you are in the right spot

    I just bought a whole set on ebay from CVR racing. All are aluminum, you can buy separately or in a set. Crank pulley was $56, W/P pulley was $56, the alternator pulley was $32 (listed as a 429/460 pulley, but it's the same for small blocks too) You can get aluminum alternator bracket sets from many places to replace the ugly factory stuff. I fabricated one on my own. With Some of the multi sheeve crank pulleys, you can machine off the outer sheeves, I did this to one and used it til this week when I replaced it with the aluminum set. The single groove waterpump pulley was common to all 302/351W, 351C/351M and 400's in the 70's if you're on a budget and want to run the factory stuff.
