I'm hoping to use my factory Ford A/C compressor on my Cummins enigne. I can fab the mount easily, and there is plenty of room to mount it high on the drivers side, just over the pump.

Does anyone know of a way to add a v belt pulley to the engine? OR,,,is there a better way to run the compressor?? Change it to a serpentine pulley and use a longer belt??

I've seen pics of it done that way, but can't seem to find them now. Any suggestions??

 

why are u not wanting the cummins a/c compressor?

 

It's not that I don't WANT to use the Cummins compressor, but I don't have one as of yet. The compressor on my Ford is only about 6 months old, was in the same location I want to put it, and is fairly small in size. Also,, I just got the Cummins in and bolted up, and it really doesn't look like one will fit in the original location. I know I have the width, but not sure of the length from the mount to the front crossmember. Without buying one to "test fit", I'm not sure there is room down there. I've seen pics of other builds using the Ford compressor, or other small compressors, mounted high and run by a v belt. Just not sure how they run the v belt.
