I am using:

 

655-1465

From Jegs. It is the March serpentine adjustable alternator bracket. It allows me to run the stock reverse rotation pump from the later model 5.0L motors. I only have crank, alternator, and water pump running. The belt goes from the crank to the alternator back to the crank. The backside fo the belt rotates the water pump. Hope that helps. Goodyear makes a belt around 40" that works. Forget the P/N, just measure with string and then use goodyears online part number system to figure it out:

The donor car I'm using is a Jaguar XJ6 with a 302 Windsor... I would like to use it's radiator if possible, but am unsure of the dimensions I have to work with. What is the widest possible radiator that can be fitted to a 280ZX? I dont mind cutting a bit and grinding... radiator hose on the top drivers side, and bottom passenger side.

 

Im going to pull it out today.
