I'm installing a 72 460 in my 78 f100.I want to put a serpentine belt on it.Would brackets from a newer model bolt to older block? Does anyone know of an aftermarket kit?

Darryl you are probbly going to have to engineer this one yourself. Have you seen a late model 460 with a serpentine belt on it? Do you have any idea how to figure the length of the belt, if you could get all of the pullies.

Lots of luck to ya buddy,

John

You might have to change balancers. Most early balancers used three bolt pulleys and late models used four bolt pulleys. Also, late model serpentine use reverse rotation waterpumps and fans, I think. I could be wrong here....

one VERY important thing to make sure of is that everything still spins the right direction with a serpentine belt, did the 460's with a serpentine belt have a waterpump that spun a different direction? I dont know, but it could lead to some big problems if they did and you dont check
