1973 pully's HELP
I have purchased a few different water pump pully's and none of them are correct. I Picked up the engine used and have no idea of what vehicle it came out of. I am wondering if i were to pull ALL of the pully's off of a 351w if they would work on my 1973 351w. The engine is going into a 1977 F150. No AC. It is bare bone. Alternator, water pump, power steering, and crank pully. I have also ordered 2 different alternator brackets and none of them have worked. ANY help would be great.

If the pulleys are within the 20 year old range, ok....but I would also magnaflux them to ensure the safety of myself and vehicle. Anything older, unless it is for show purposes you couldn't pay me enough $ to run oem pulleys on any type of a driver..... as these are "loaded guns" literally going down the road because of metal fatigue.... yes, it doesn't happen often but when it does (and I have seen this a couple times....once in the early 90's driving back from a show in Fresno....both a classic mustang and late 60's T-Bird within a few miles of each other..... and just a couple of years ago on a Camero …
