59AB into a 36
If you are going to put a 59AB engine in a 36, here is the hose combo that fits. Upper: Gates 21253
Lower: Gates 20151 If you are going to run an alternator, here is the belt to use with the fan mounted alternator: NAPA 22545 The 46-48 fan will not work because of the radiator tilt. Use a 3 wire alternator because of the pulley size to mount the fan. It starts charging as soon as you come off idle. This combination worked for me. Ed |

??? A 3-wire should charge at idle even with a big pulley, no revving should be necessary. Jack E/NJ |

Re: 59AB into a 36
Ed, I have a similar set up, but I am not crazy about the speed of the fan because of the small pulley size. Sounds like a blower at speed. What size pulley are you using. Thanks, Paul

Re: 59AB into a 36
Paul, I am using a pulley from Speedway for the fan mount. No issues with the pulley.

Re: 59AB into a 36
Ed, Have you had your radiator in place yet to check the clearance. I don't have that much room on my 35. That looks like a great set up if it all can be put together without issues. Looks nice, Paul

Re: 59AB into a 36
Paul, that is the reason to use the shorter belt and the later intake. It fits nicely under the radiator with no issues. Ed

Re: 59AB into a 36
That looks really nice, plenty of room. My 53 merc engine must be a little longer. I don't have that much room. Thanks, Paul

Re: 59AB into a 36
The three-wire ALT (i.e. Delco 10 SI) should charge at idle if you connect the sensor wire to the seloniod terminal, instead of the output post on the ALT body. I changed mine and now at 500 rpm idle, with no items turned on, it charges at abt 3 to 5 amps pending the state of the battery, and at idle it will stay there (or higher) if I i.e. turn on the headlights.
