mat in tn Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Very generous offer Pete. Thank you for showing the Bullnose spirit! yes, that is the mount for both the air pump and alternator. if that part was removed prior then I wonder what else got re-engineered too. peeling the onion my offer many revelations.

If the truck was wearing that Powermaster I would have to surmise that it was only the A.I.R. pump brackets that got docked. Pete would know for sure. He might even have a picture of the engine before he tore the front dress off? For now I would say that everything needed is still available. Predicate that with "I have a 460, so can't be certain" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was wearing the Powermaster, but that was a direct bolt-on for the stocker it replaced, so no modifications were made for it. The engine never had a smog pump on it, so I can't say what's missing in the way of bracketry thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Whitstone Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Ah! This '81 never had an AIR pump? I can't say that definitively. What I should have said was that in the time I have owned the engine, it never had a smog pump on it. The motor was pulled from a motorhome a couple years ago, and it didn't have a smog pump on it at that time, that's all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
