Accessory Fitment on a Magnum

[money pit]

I'm thinking about replacing my 340 (1973) with a later model 360 Magnum. The engine is in a 70 Barracuda that originally had a 383. It was converted to a AAR clone. Will the accessories (alternator, power steering pump) bolt on without modifications? Or, will I have to replace the pulleys with the serpentine type pulleys and replace the mounting brackets? The engine on the Jegs website has a cam cover that has provisions for a mechanical fuel pump. I believe since the 340 in the car and the 360 are both externally balanced so I shouldn't have any problem bolting the 727 trans to the 360. Thanks

Other than the magnum timing cover not having a fuel pump provision (I have not seen Jegs) all the accessories will bolt up. Some year magnums had a balanced converter, some had a balanced flex plate, if you have a converter with weights on it , I would remove them and get a magnum balanced flex plate. And I’m sure you know the harmonic balancer/dampener for a 360 magnum is not the same as an LA 360.

The Jegs engine comes with a harmonic balancer and flex plate. It looks like it has provisions for a mechanical fuel pump. The next upgrade comes with a carb and fuel pump. Thanks.
