Here is my serpentine belt conversion.  It cost $28 including the new belt.  The pullies are off an '86 Lincoln Towncar with a 5.0L.  They bolted right on.
Here is the Weiand X-celerator bolted in place.  Note the plastic 4 hole carb spacer.  This should keep the carb cool and give it a better vaccum signal on the single plane intake.
This picture shows the KB pistons in place.  Note the single valve relief.  These are suppossed to be identicle to the '72 HO pistons.  Rings are Speed Pro Moly with the top gap set at 0.028" and second ring gap at 0.015".  The pistons are 0.003" below the deck surface.  Bearings are all Federal Mogul and Gaskets are Fel-Pro except for the intake which is Mr. Gasket Ultra Seal.  Note the ported and polished intake ports and the Crane rocker arm conversion kit on the installed head.
Harland Sharpe 1.73:1 roller rocker arms installed on Crane conversion kit.  Vavles are Milodon stainless steel and springs, retainers, and keepers are all Crane matched to the camshaft.  Oil Pan is a 7qt Moroso for the Fox body Mustang.
Micky Thompson (M/T) valve covers from a swapmeet.  These had to be ground at the flange above each intake runner to fit properly.
