Reply to "Serpentine Accessory Belt/Pulleys?"

Most serpentine belt drive setups need a water pump that rotates the opposite direction from stock, while Gilmer-belt drives use the std rotation direction. Since Windsors came stock with serpentines, reverse-rotation water pumps are also stock for later years. Not so with the 351-C.... and the C & W pumps do not interchange. Massive overheating also accompanies running any water pump backwards.
I may have a setup coming that allows a serpentine belt drive AND a bulkhead reduction setup (or even a perfectly flat firewall!) in the near future. Watch your Newsletter.
