Default Big Block Conversion Accessory Brackets

Good evening all,

I'm in the process of building a 454 for my 72.

Been doing a lot of thread scrolling on the forum and unfortunately a lot of the threads are from 10+ yrs ago and have broken images

So, I'm aware that going the original setup costs an arm and a leg in pulleys/brackets and I'm trying to get it done a lot cheaper.

My question is, will these setups work, the pulleys and the alternator setup are in polished aluminium and the p/steering brackets are chrome plated steel, all are for short water pump.


Crank Pulley: (6.6 inch diameter)

(

Short WP Pulley double ribbed:




Alternator:





Power Steering:

So long as your belts track true in the pulley grooves, it will work.

The only caution I would offer is that they are probably made in that country that the Aussies have bought nuclear submarines to defend against so be sure you look carefully for any obvious defects.

Looks like a knock-off of the March Performance setup. I have a March serpentine conversion on my 496 and it has been great.
