  • New heart for the buggy.

    So I picked this 5.0 up for the buggy. Aluminum heads and cobra upper and lower. Should work good in the car. Big question of the day is whether I can put the explorer front dress on the 351W in my brown bronco. Any help would be appreciated. Click image for larger version

    Marc,

    You should be able to attach the explorer front dress to the 351... Must change timing cover, but cannot use the Explorer Harmonic balancer...
    If the 351 currently has a Harmonic balancer with 3 bolt mounting, then I have a new WH Serp pulley that bolts to the HB that I will not be using on Dr Bill's rig... Would be willing to ship to you with some cost savings for you... PM me > Doug

    You will have to use a longer Serp belt than a standard Explorer.

      Cool. That's what I was thinking. I do have a 3 bolt, so it would be awesome if I could get your extras.

        When I did mine I just ordered a new damper from Damper dudes with serp pulley. Part number FO3024 EX 28oz.

          Worth looking into... do you remember what they charged? I can always return the pulley ($89.99)... and the one piece unit would be cleaner. Let me know.

              Damper dudes can also rebuild and rebalance the 5.0 one too.
