Serpentine Pulley

[Triton]

Can I get a serpentine pulley from a junk car for the harmonic balancer on a 289? What should I look for?

 

[Triton]

what about a pulley from a 5.0 mustang would that work?

I did! I used a late model complete serpentine set up for my 351W conversion. I bought from Summit a reverse flow water pump, timing cover, AC bracket and correct harmonic balancer. I used off the donor car: pulley's, ac compressor, power steering pump and alternator.

BTW, all the above parts came off a late model Mustang 5.0, that is why I had to buy the ac bracket for a 351W. Everything else fit the 351W from the 5.0

IIRC the pulley on the 289 mounts with 3 bolts and the 5.0 pulley(stock) mounts with 4 bolts. He may have to buy an aftermarket pulley to bolt up to the 289 balancer.

You are correct!

When you buy your balancer, get one drilled for both three bolt and four bolt. Mustangs Plus has them.

Thanks, I see what you mean about the four bolt balencer

I found a water pump pulley from a 1990 Crown Victoria, my question is, if I get a new harmonic balancer ( which I need) will the serp pulley work from a 5.0 liter?
