    Different mount for mustang

    hello, I was just looking though all the good info here and noticed all the mounts for ford 302s and 351s are different then what I have. Is mine a custom 1 off or is it from an old design? any and all help would be appreciated.

    I'm only familiar with the foxbody brackets that came in the kits. Which means I know just enough to be dangerous.
    That bracket for the alternator looks entirely different then what I have. Whats the spring for near that tensioner pulley?
    Over the years I've seen quite a few custom made brackets on the internet. Thats probably what you have but again, I'm not that familiar with the brackets. What block is that on?

    it's on a factory 91 mustang 5.0 block. the spring keeps tension on the pulley since the factory tensioner wouldn't work.

    Though I'm almost certain it's not this but I work at a restoration shop. We have an old Avanti that came from the factory with a Paxton SN60. The brackets look similar but it's hard to see because engine is still in it.
    Is that spring tensioner for the serpentine belt & not the belt for the charger? I ask because I dont think a spring loaded tensioner is enough for the charger belt. The paxton one is locked into place by two bolts & the belt will still get loose at times.
    If you haven't looked a few posts below is the install manual for an SN89 or 92. it should have good pictures of the bracket.

    it seems the ones I have seen have an aluminum support that looks molded with reinforced webs and flat bracket
