Title: big block swap
Post by: Jjay78 on August 18, 2011, 05:08:48 AM
i've been running small blocks in my truck, and fineally got a couple big blocks, can i still use any of my old accessories..... alternator... ps pump.... pullies?? from the small blocks to the big block? i know i gotta get a new water pump for it, cuz the one it has looks like a serpentine one, and everything i have and that my truck is wired to handle is the old v belt stuff. also if i can use the new small block stuff does anyone have the brackets i need for them, or will my small block alt bracket still fit? tips advice and pointers would be grately appreaciated!!!!

I got the alternator mount for you but you will have to find the power steering pump mount. I got another water pump I think too along with the pulleys needed to run the alt set up I got.

i had to switch to a big block  power steering pump also when i did my swap  my small block one wouldnt work.   bolt holes where it bolts to the mount were in different places.   

none of the brackets from the small block will work on the big block  but if you need some i believe i have an extra one for the alternator  pm me if you need it and ill double check if i still got it
