few questions about 302 5.0 installation

[Jeff65]

You can install your early v-belt drive accessories if you buy a conversion harmonic balancer. The one needed depends on whether you have three bolt crank pulley or four bolt. NPD carries this part (50 oz-in imbalance - your early harmonic is 28 oz-in imbalance and can't be used - however all the pulleys can).

With conversion harmonic. Change timing cover to early timing cover with fuel block off plate. Use electric fuel pump OR get conversion eccentric for cam and use early timing cover and mechanical fuel pump.

Note the heads have 7/16" bolt holes instead of 3/8". You'll have to rework some of the brackets and use spacers to get a good fit.

Alternatively, you can use all the serpentine stuff from the late model car.

I used v-belts and did the conversions above. It works fine and looks no different than an early 289/302 up front. I use '64 Galaxie 289 upper radiator hose because it fits better.
