Hey man, I have the sepentine belt on my '74 windsor. The only thing I am running is the water pump and alternator though. I used to run the p/s. The belt I am using now is a 475k6. Which is a 47.5" belt, 6 rib. You can get at any parts store. If you want to run P/S, get a 735 k6 belt. I also have reversed my belt tensioner. If you are not using a/c, you will want to do this as well. It is very easy to do. What kind of harmonic balancer are you using? Is it the actual one that came with that motor? The easiest way to tell is if it has 4 bolts for the crank pulley. I had the stock 351w balancer on mine before I switched to the fluidamper. If you have this, just put on your old crank pulley (from the 5.0) And use the other pulleys from the 5.0 as well. But you will have to get a new water pump. Because it is a reverse rotation water pump. Oh yeah, the alt. bracket from the 5.0 works great.
