Gettin' old is when your wife says you used to be Irish Spring, but now you're just Old Spice..

We like the 4 doors too. Here is my oldest son's 4 door.

Maybe check on FBBO. If you have to remove the torsion bars, that is just nuts.

Old thread, but in the next day or two, I'll be measuring for the belt length. I found this belt look up by length from Dayco. I thought it may help somebody out. I am gonna try it. https://na.daycoaftermarket.com/en/catalog/#serpentine-belts

I can't believe you aren't gonna use some 302 heads... Sorry Tim, I shouldn't have said that!

I am just about to call this done. I still have a little to do on it, but not much. I did add an idler pulley. It turned out looking better than I thought it would.

I found a small piece of 1/2" aluminum diamond plate and whittled out a crude top bracket. I also band sawed a different Magnum bracket. It is getting closer to looking like I want.

I've been busy tending the coffee pot. But I've been thinkin' on it..

I am not sure on the year, but I think they were all the same. They made a non ac bracket that would have taken less sawzall time. If I get bored, I may whittle a few more ounces off of it since my truck is heavy.

I just saw this and went out and looked. Mine have 1" holes.

I'd like to see pics if you do the rasp finish. I might go buy a couple. Flobench or nobench, I'm interested.

When you build your 440, I may need one to keep up...

Yes, that would help. I am going to try it first without anything else, mainly out of curiosity. Thanks!

No, its going into this Old Yeller thing. Plenty of room.

I found a belt and grabbed a set of vice grips. Here are my 2 options. I like the 2nd best with the alt sitting lower and to the side, but # 1 has more belt on the water pump. I will try the 2nd first and can always change if I need to.

I will post more pics when I get a belt. Somewhere around here I have an old one that I was going to use to measure for the new one. I just can't find it yet..

I still need to do a little purtying up, and measure for a belt. I'll update as I move along.

Ok, now the part that some won't like, my tensioner bracket not quite finished: The arrow points towards the notch for the tensioner.

Now the output stud is away from the VC.

Here is how it looks now.

I rotated the bracket and used it to mark for a new bolt hole.

I really, still did not like how high and in front the alternator sat. The output stud was also very close the the valve covers. So close that I would have to remove the alt. to take the valve cover off.

After a couple hours with a sawzall, grinder and junk belt sander, I'm getting there.

Trying to get things ready to get my Old Yeller going early this spring, I find I have no alternator or even the brackets. They are now on another project. So, looking around I have several good magnum style alternators and their brackets. I hate spending $$, so I thought I'd see what I could...

@318willrun , Here you go.. 8" converter on the street???

I bet if you had this thread in the race section, you'd have a few more responses.

If I wasn't so slow at working on my junk, I'd be able to tell you...

I don't have a lathe, but always on the lookout... and it needs to be cheap, but not worn out. And, Who you callin' old?

Man! I am way out of my league on this site. There is no way I could ever afford the prices people on here pay for stuff. The most I ever paid to have a driveshaft shortened was $25 and I balanced it myself with hose clamps, per the MP chassis book. Find an old guy with a big lathe and I...
