Engine Pulley

I have a 68f100 with a 360; no A/C or P/S. The pulleys that came on the truck (C8AE-8509-A Water pump) & (C8AE-6312-E Crank) fit but are not for this year truck. I assume this would be fine? Are there any issues using these pulleys. I just had the engine rebuilt and don't want to mess it up.

If they came on the truck, why do you think they are not for this truck? If they worked before, they should continue to be perfectly fine, unless your plan was to add more engine accessories, like PS or air.

The fortification pulley list led me to believe they are not right for this truck. The crank pulley is for a 428 or 390 and the water pump pulley is for a 390. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as they fit? Also, how close should these pulls be when installed? I can't squeeze a belt between them?

An FE is an FE pretty much across most FE engine sizes.

Pullies were used across multiple applications, and not every possible installed application could be listed. A belt would not go between the crank and water pump pullies. The belt goes around them. These are non stock parts shown here, but the idea is the same. It's the best example I could find quick. Besides, it's pretty.

Here's another look with more stock parts, but these are multi groove pullies. As you can see, the fit and belt orientation is still the same.

Finally, as installed in a pickup, with power steering.

352 FE
