Not this kinda “fifth”? 😜

MS…do you have a picture of your tensioner spanner wrench?

The single source water pump does not sound like a good idea.

Can you please explain the requirement of the pulley covers?

I am having difficulty understanding it.

What electric fan is in the picture?…future reference…Thanks.

Your installation of the electric fan is very clean.

When I bought my blueprint engine last year it said standard rotation water pump only. The techs at blueprint reverse rotation wouldn't work.   I had the front dress from 5.0 serpentine set up.  I looked over both timing covers very closely, and they were the same. I used the reverse rotation and its working well.   I don't know why you couldn't use the reverse rotation pump if from a timing cover standpoint.   There the same. 
 

 
Did ya happen to take pictures of both covers?

Have you tried a slightly longer belt?
The requirement of removing the alternator pulley is why I mention it.

When I swapped the 3G alternator into the Foxbody serpentine drive, pulley was slightly larger than the 2G alternator pulley.  The existing belt was difficult to install.  If I remember correctly, the tensioner was at the tight end of the range for the belt…I think.  Any who, I believe the belt under load applied excessive force on my p/s pump and it failed.

The Wrapalator appears to place constant downward pressure on the water pump.  Under load applies more force than the small water pump bearing and housing can handle. Especially with the short span and the 2 fixed pulleys.

The ribbed side of serpentine belts do not slip like the backside in the factory drive.

Drive it Billy…installed or not.

Eye wood. 😁

If can remember when I make it to garage…over 100 feet away, I will look.

I don’t think they made the last move…maybe they did.

Update…

Headers nowhere to be found at new place or old.
It’s been almost 5 years…I tried…and cried a little too. 😂

I know I will look again later just to be sure.

Hopefully, I will receive my heater core before winter.
Before June of this year would be nice.

Will have to remember this for future purchases.
Request to send by USPS.

The hand off is one thing, but to go to Colorado and return back to Michigan and transfer from FedEx to USPS in Grand Rapids.  I wasn’t far off when I contacted seller and informed of this shenanigans…I even suggested that the transfer would be in Muskegon.

Have ya considered mild porting the E7 heads and have it milled afterwards?
Have you tried F-series truck exhaust manifolds?

I still have E7 heads on the stock 5.0L.
Only modification is exhaust opened to match header gaskets.

I may not win races, but sure have fun driving it.

Greg, thanks for sharing this information.
I really appreciate it.

Bullet, I thought you had said they were modified.
Mostly on side bumping into Falcon shock tower.

Greg…read this.

Will my steak have the signature black marks like the 66?

I would run the Parchment interior.

You can always change color later if desired.

Keep it simple for now.

You’ll appreciate the “non black” interior.
