I obviously cannot shorten my water pump shaft until I know which pulley I will be using. LMC sells one for 80 bucks, but that seemed a bit steep for a plain old steel pulley. Does anyone have any idea of which offset pulley would work for a 261, for example, will a pulley of a 72 v8 work, etc., or is the stock LMC pulley the only way to go? | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I know for sure a Ford 292 pulley from the fifties will work. I'm sure there are others but I haven't seen where anyone IDed them. You are correct about not cutting until you have the pulley to eyeball in.
A stock one will do you no good. Too long. You need one close to the same diameter as stock. A smaller one will turn the pump too fast. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | I pulled one from a Ford truck with a straight six for mine, but I don't remember which model. It fits great, seemed to be out of the late 70's/early 80's. Bolted on, exactly the same diameter as original, and same bolt pattern and center hole diameter, and the right dish. It only cost me $1.
