You might find some older water pump pulleys that would let you run crank-wp-alt.  Something from the late 60s, either 289 or 302.  This is why I have a big box of pulleys and brackets stashed away.

thanks man. i dont have any other ford stuff on hand and the best i could hope to find in the local j-yard are mid 80's and up 5.0 trucks.

i was hoping to just buy a cheap pulley and alt bracket off summit or something that would get the job donw

by the looks of your harmonic balancer (4 bolt) you will have to run a pulley from the 70's or 80's.  The  60's (289's) had a 3 bolt harmonic balancer.  If you look on ebay there should be several.  I have a 77 302 4 bolt pulley on my 68 mustang.  You could also look into a billet pulley kit for the alternator, crank and water pump.  These usually run around $125.  Just make sure you have the same number's for the accessories, 3 rib, 2 rib ect...  There should be several crank pulley's from old mavericks, fairmonts, granada's, on ebay, they all ran 302's.

If you're not a resto guy you might consider using a serpentine setup.  Plenty of them around in the junkyards and you can get the parts cheap.  The downside (if it is considered that) is you have to run accessories that will fit the serpentine, which mostly eliminates the orginal stuff.  I was going to do that to my Mustang until I decided to change engines.
