In order to convert to the standard (more common) Ford/Mercury set-up, you will need to replace the following parts on your engine:
- get the standard front timing cover and seal (while the timing cover is off, also remove the gear that drives the Lincoln p/s pump)
- get the standard crankshaft spacer/sleeve (acts as a spacer where the original Lincoln p/s unit was fitted)
- belt-driven p/s pumps and brackets
- (Although all 429/460 balancers are neutral-balanced, you may or may not need a balancer/pulley that lines up with your new p/s pulley assembly and your alternator, etc....Lincoln balancers are different from Ford/Merc balancers in regards to where the belt pulleys are located)
