BIG BLOCK BRACKETS

-

Vintage Air unveiled six new bracket kits for big-block Ford 351M-400 and 429-460 engines. These kits include compressor brackets and OEM, Saginaw and T.C. (Type II) power steering add-on brackets for 351M-400 and 429-460 big-block Ford engines. Additional­ly, an Alternator Low Mount Bracket Kit for 429-460 big-block Ford engines is available.

The Ford 351M-400 and 429-460 Compressor Bracket Kits are simple and economical solutions to get Ford-powered classics air-conditione­d without having to source hard-to-find OEM brackets.

There are three di erent power steering pump add-on kits available for bigblock Ford 351M, 400, 429 and 460 engines—OEM, Saginaw and T.C. (Type II). Each add-on kit requires Vintage Air compressor bracket kit 137000 or 137020 for mounting.

The OEM Power Steering Add-on Kit supports Ford pumps from 1965–’96 and requires pulley D0OR-B or D0AR-A.

The Saginaw Power Steering Add-on Kit requires a Dorman 300-122 singlegroo­ve pulley due to the larger shaft size or equivalent pulley. A Ford pulley could also be bored out to 0.746-inch to fit the shaft.

The Ford T.C. (Type II) Power Steering Add-on Kit works with Vintage Air part number 851001 integral reservoir or 851002 remote reservoir pumps. For Ford T.C. (Type II) Power Steering Add-on Kits, the power steering pulley is designed for a pump with a 0.6647-inch O.D. shaft. Some modificati­on or re-plumbing of the pressure and return lines may be required to retrofit to some engines. Hardline 852000 is recommende­d for the pressure side.

The Ford Low Mount Alternator Bracket Kit is only available for 429-460 engines.

All Ford bracket kits come with all necessary hardware included. It’s recommende­d to measure all pulleys to get the proper length V-belt for your applicatio­n due to the wide range of accessory options and pulley diameters available.
