I'm 99% sure this is a dumb question but here goes. Are all the smallblock (302-351w) crank and waterpump pulleys pretty much the same once you get to the (later) 4 bolt style?
Reason I ask is, I have a 76, 351w that is going in where a 302 once lived. I'll need to get all the pulleys as well as an A/C kit for a Sanden A/C Compressor. I just wanna be sure what I need before I order that kit. Thanx,
I am by no means an expert... but I am trying to do the same thing with a 70 351w. I have a pile of about 5 waterpump pulleys and 4 crank pulleys. None worked together. I ended up buying a matched set from a junkyard. I guess the answer is no they aren't all the same, different diameters, number of belts, depths etc.
I don't see why you couldn't use the pulleys form your 302 though (assuming its a 4 bolt)
Mike, thanx. That's what I think I'm gonna do too. Just get a set from a junkyard motor. My 302 was a 3 bolt set-up so it won't work. I need to find something that works all together and then order the A/C kit for whatever THAT application was. That way it should all line up. Sure wish Ford would have not had so darn many pulley combos. Thanx again, Phil

Nothing has given me more grief then getting pulleys to work together. I make it a point to collect them whenever I can. Someday I will call myself the pulley guy.
