68 Mustang Engine Swap pulley problems

Sorry I got a little confused.

If you have a three bolt balancer on the new motor it is pre 1969.

No, the old motor that lunched had a 3-bolt balancer. The new motor has a 4 bolt balancer.

Water pumps on later motors dumped to the driver side.

You can buy a water pump for that conversion. But they are not stock from Ford. They will dump right side and the snout will be shorter and lower like the older ones. Or just change your radiator tanks for @ $75.00 or so.

The radiator in there is a three core radiator that I remember that I paid $175 for.

Which I recommend. Then you can use the later model pumps that are hands down better and stock Ford. Also you can go to a serpintine belt later if you want.

So the later model pumps are better? Why? And how could I go serpintine without a serpintine tensionier?

Thanks,

Kirk
