Pulley kit for Ford FE in GT40?

[BigB98]

Quick question if you guys have recommendations for a pulley kit for Ford FE in a GT40. I have alternator and AC Pump, plus I may go with a dry sump oiling system. Hoping there's something already engineered vs. fabbing something up if I can avoid it.

Thanks for any guidance.

Hi,

I am using:
- standard rubberised damper which has a single groove pulley around it (fluidamper is an option if you do lots of high revs work, but otherwise not necessary),
- standard 60s alternator with its standard diameter pulley (original cars ran a larger pulley diameter, due to continued high revs use),
- standard single groove water pump pulley (there are different offset depths, so make sure you get the right one)

I have an Aviaid dry sump setup, which uses a modified front spacer with integral toothed belt pulley to drive the pump, and I specified a shallow pan - shallower than the standard one. They supplied the mounting brackets for the pump too. I wanted it mounted down next to the pan so they made a new bracket, the standard one has it up closer to the alternator. Your positioning will obviously depend on where you stick the A/C pump.

Hope that helps.

Thanks much, John. Do you by chance have any pictures?

Unfortunately not at this time. My engine is still with the builder.

However, another forum member (Craig) has pictures of his engine which is also using an Aviaid pump & pan has pics on his build site. Here are a few:

It looks like craig has a billet water pump pulley and an SFI Fluidamper though.

Hope that helps.
