I had the March std set and the water pump pulley was 6.5" and the crank was something like 5.25". The car overheated because of the underdriven pulley set. I bought a billet 5.25" waterpump pulley from Kirkham, it is really nice looking and no more overheating. Good to know that March made it right for someone but you won't find that combination on their website. Kirkham has some really nice billet aluminum bits for reasonable money.

The alternator can be positioned high with the standard brackets from a Ford Pickup or can be positioned low with the set that accomodated the air pump from a later Ford. They aren't very nice looking, just utilitarian Ford parts.

I found many billet bracket sets when I was looking. Do a google search and see what you find. Most of the billet sets were very expensive but looked pretty good. I settled for ceramic coating the stock Ford bracket parts and it looks fine to me.

Good luck.

Paul
