I know this dilemma has been posted several times but I have not seen a viable solution. I, like several others, am eliminating everything but the alternator, water pump, and crank pulleys. I have a serpentine system with a reverse (counterclockwise) water pump on a 94 Mustang GT 302/5.0. When Ford changed the body style they changed a lot of other stuff on the engine, like how the accessories mounted for body clearance. The only real solution I have found is to purchase a 93 timing cover, water pump, pulleys, and alternator bracket. There is a tensioner available for the 93 but nothing for the 94-95. Other than fabricating something has anyone come up with a solution?

I ran ALT/CRANK/WP for several years. Used underdrive pulleys and a 445k6 belt.

Thanks. Well I wanted to eliminate as much off the front of the engine as possible getting rid of weight and simplify things. I had thought about using the original bracket but was afraid I couldn't get enough "bite" on the water pump. I wanted to get rid of the bulky bracket too. If I can't fabricate something I guess I may have to purchase the 93 parts. Just didn't want to go to that expense.
