[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16546374, member: 70025"] Speaking of rolling with the punches. I got the balancer puller from my brother and decided to mock up my front end last night. Well, the punches keep coming LOL. I kind of expected this going from a 302 block to a 351W block. That additional deck height is great for power, but it throws a lot of other things off as well LOL. So, I need to purchase new alternator and P/S brackets. Already made the purchases last night. The good thing is my pulley's will still work. So, I just needed to buy the brackets. Found a March Performance P/S bracket, which is the system I had originally. I went with a cheaper alternator bracket, but the design matches my March pulley set up. Here you can see the timing chain cover and water pump fit just fine. [ATTACH=full]1679406[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1679407[/ATTACH] Here I have the alternator and P/S pump mounted to the water pump side, but the head mounting side is not working. [ATTACH=full]1679408[/ATTACH] Kind of looks good from this angle, but the 351W is just too wide for mounts designed for a 302. [ATTACH=full]1679409[/ATTACH] Here you can see the bolt that mounts to the head is not lining up. [ATTACH=full]1679410[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1679411[/ATTACH] Here you can see the P/S pump outlet is in line with the head and needs to be pushed out further in order to clear. [ATTACH=full]1679412[/ATTACH] I was watching a video on YouTube yesterday about the 351W block. Found out it has a code stamped into the block. My first four digits are E9AE. This means my block was manufactured in 1989, is a 351W and was meant for a truck. [ATTACH=full]1679413[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
