Has anyone used pre-'70 bracketry/pulleys on a 360?
I'm installing a 360 into my '68 GT 'vert. It had already had an '80s 318 put in years ago but they used the original engine accessories. I left the 360 timing cover on it and the original 2 groove pulley bolts to the 360 damper. One hole didn't quite line up (didn't on the later 318 either) but I reamed it out a little. I used the early water pump also so the power steering pump bolts right up to it. The only thing I noticed was the triangle shaped alternator bracket looked bent a little on one end from the previous install. I put a washer under it and it bolted up nicer. The alternator lines up fine.
I also had to modify the driver side motor mount. I just cut a tab off of a spool mount I had laying there and welded it to the original so it would bolt to the upper ear on the block. Took one spacer also. I should have taken pics but I forgot to.
