Is the engine you are working on a 68?? How are you going about it, switching the waterpump out? Have you found if the alternator fan/belt pulley can just switch over or not? I would imagine for you that you would have to swap the timing chain cover and water pump out to the newer style. Im glad others have thought about this swap, and that Im not going into it blind. Thanks Gearhead999, keep me updated on your progress. Phillyfan, do you think instead of using an idler pulley it could be adjusted with the alternator? I just thought it would be a good swap, instead of paying $500 for a shiney one, lol. Thanks guys.
