Hi everybody,
Like the title says, I just bought a set of accessory brackets for the 360 in my 73 challenger. The engine that will be getting these mounts are actually not in the car yet.
The reason I'm looking for a new bracket system is that I want AC. Currently, the car isn't equipped for AC. This bracket set comes with everything I have, plus AC (and a smog pump bracket...more on that in a minute).
I bought these brackets because I wanted a new bracket system to support AC without going for a billet system from March or someone else. I'm not necessarily looking to convert to serpentine (although I would if this system would support it...would it?), and the car needs enough work that having a nice shiny belt system would look out of place. And I kind of like the look of an unassuming engine. Something that doesn't look too special, but can do everything I need it to. The bracket set only set me back $40.
With the proper pulleys (any input on what proper pulleys would be?), would this system work on my 360? I should add that I'm putting a set of 308 heads (from an 89-92 360) on the engine. The intake is an Edelbrock Performer RPM.
Also, regarding smog pump bracket. Can I just not install the smog pump bracket and get a different length belt? Or would it be best to try and find a smog pump delete pulley and keep it in the loop?
I don't mind switching over to w150 accessories, PS pump looks similar (saginaw style). Unsure of water pump, but again, I don't mind switching. In fact I'll end up with the Sanden 508 compressor instead of the RV2 that my challenger would've originally had.
Any thoughts/assistance is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
