Early front pulleys/ps pump. Onto 1970+ 360. What needs changed?

Cant he just build the front of the 360 like a 69 and older LA , using the water pump from his 67 (or a new 69, and older WP)
You will gain an inch of clearance to the radiator also, helping with fan clearance. He should be able to use all the 67 stuff.

He Has purchased a passenger side outlet griffin radiator to match the passenger side water pump on the stroker 408.

He bought my dressed BluePrint 408 with the common 1970+ damper, timing cover, water pump.

I admit I did not know the early power steering bracket bolted to the early WP. So i needed to help him figure out what's going on with the pulleys/brackets.

So...few things going on here, but ultimately aftermarket pulleys/brackets are my best solution vs trying to mix and match any early/late brackets and pulleys.

So long story short, lesson learned on early water pumps being something to be aware of.
