I am looking for alternator and p/s brackets for a 429/460 in a 1972 Torino. I don't know if the car or the year makes a difference, but I would love it if anyone can point me in the right direction! ------------- 1972 Torino |

If you don't need them to be pretty, or need A/C, I have a setup that was used in my Cougar, which is from a fullsized car.. Has Alt, Saginaw style power steering pump. A/C cannot be used with it, as the fullsize car compressor will hit the frame of the Torino.  ------------- Paul 77 XR7 460/C6/3.00:1 *SOLD* 78 XR7 523/C6/3.5:1 79 F100 460/TKO500/3.25:1 'I also have some left over potatoes-I understand you can generate electricity from them'- Foote500 |

What would it take to hook the Saginaw pump to a standard Ford P/S gear box?
Also, I forgot to mention do you have the crank pulley and water pump pulley as well? ------------- 1972 Torino |

I have everything. And a special hose which I happen to have. You'll need to create one hardline, no big deal if you have a tubing bender and flarer. I'm only selling because I need a bracketry setup that has A/C. ------------- Paul 77 XR7 460/C6/3.00:1 *SOLD* 78 XR7 523/C6/3.5:1 79 F100 460/TKO500/3.25:1 'I also have some left over potatoes-I understand you can generate electricity from them'- Foote500 |

Are all of them the same? Or do I need to look for certain years/models? ------------- 1972 Torino |

My stuff won't be ready to go for several weeks, so if you're in a hurry, I'm not it, lol. Whatever you do, Make sure you get a matched set. There are so many pulley pump and bracket combos it can drive a sober person to drink. ------------- Paul 77 XR7 460/C6/3.00:1 *SOLD* 78 XR7 523/C6/3.5:1 79 F100 460/TKO500/3.25:1 'I also have some left over potatoes-I understand you can generate electricity from them'- Foote500 |

Well, it is supposedly going to take Crites 4-6 weeks to build me the motor mounts and headers... So I think I can wait...
Plus, I just bought a motorcycle, so that will distract me for the time being. ------------- 1972 Torino |

Hey Matt,
May want to mention that you 429 is internally balanced. From what I have read, seems that the crank, water pump, etc... pulleys will be different from an engine with a harmonic balancer.
Can anyone confirm this? ------------- Eric 72GTS-Ncode (429-477ci) |
