For the power steering pulley I would try the junk yards first. Don't just call them. You should go down to their lot because many of them have truck bed loads of pulleys and they usually won't go through all of them because it takes time and they won't make alot of money on one pulley. On the motor- there was a good thread a while back on reputable rebuilders that gave excellent warranties. Check the site search.

One off any 360, 390, or 352 should work, happy hunting.

For your engine, without changing the bellhousing and/or tranny your going to have to stick with an FE, 360, 390, 427, 428 will all work. I dont know where you might find a crate FE, they quit making them in '76, so its going to be hard. You shouldnt have any trouble finding a rebuilt one.

Try www.jobrite.com/ they have had everything I could dream up when it comes to Ford parts. Just beware that they are in BC Canada and there are duties paid on anything shipped out of their country.
