This CVF Racing BEAST kit converts a Ford 5.8L to an 8-rib serpentine drive for the alternator and power steering pump. It works with a reverse rotation water pump, and the alternator mounts high on the passenger side.
CVF states its BEAST 8-rib pulley design grips better, stretches the belt less and resists slipping compared with a 6-rib layout. Ford Mustang (1978 to 1995) and Saginaw keyway or press fit power steering pumps are offered.
