Hi everyone I have a chance to get a early mustang V8 pulley setup for my 55 that I'm putting a 1995 5.0 out of a mustang here's what I can get from the guy Timing chain cover Water pump/pulley Alternator and bracket Harmonic balancer/pulley All for $150 I have the water pump , alternator, harmonic balancer on my 95 mustang motor. Will the earlier balancer fit my 95?
Your '95 5.0 has a 50 oz balancer early 289-302's were 28oz balance factor.Professional Products has a 50oz short balancer that you can use with the early setup: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Professional-Products-Small-Block-Ford-Harmonic-Balancers,1802.html This is covered here,scroll down to post #5: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/sbf-short-water-pump-pulleys.303600/
Thanks Jeff you've always been a great help I really like to try and use stock part's but in your personal opinion would I be better off going with a March pulley set up instead of buying a different harmonic balancer on top of buying the whole stock mustang pulley
There are somethings to address first,if you think that later you might want A/C or power steering you might want to get pulleys with the extra grooves so they will be there is you want to upgrade later. I really like what these guys have to offer: http://www.cvfracing.com/289-s/52.htm and their matching alternator bracket. You will still have to do a pump swap anyway when you do the timing cover and front sump oil pan,I still think you should use this 50oz balancer: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Professional-Products-Small-Block-Ford-Harmonic-Balancers,1802.html This is good quality: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/EngineQuest-TC351A-EQ-302-351W-Ford-Timing-Cover,1897.html There are cheaper ones but many are imported and are leakers and holes may be off.
Thanks for the web link to cfv there nice looking pulleys I'm not going to run ac or power steering and no plans of it in the near future, I bought a new front sump oil pan from summit racing along with a new oil pump and pick up I am going to buy that balancer from speedway I'm going to need it anyways and it's a nice upgrade to have especially to set total timing. Thank you again for all the help
You probably paid more for the Summit pan they seem to be raising prices as of late,the water pump to match is this:http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gmb-125-1420p at Rockauto.com same pump and part number is $47.89 You might want to get the timing cover from Speedway too,stay away from Dorman brand timing covers. The headers usually used in your swap HEDMAN 88400 at Summit run $175.97 better deal and free shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hedman-8840...302-/361161977392?hash=item5416ee6e30&vxp=mtr
Oh just a hint if a parts counter guy asks, you have a 1967 Mustang 289 With the water pump and front sump pan swap you will want this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Mercur...its=Model:Mustang&hash=item2c9934177e&vxp=mtr
*****in thanks again that helps on the timing marker, the oil pan was actually cheaper at summit than speedway and Jegs ( the ARP intake manifold bolts I bought were more than the oil pan ) I have a set of ****** headers I'm going to run on the car granted they fit if not then I look into those headman ones you posted
