I started looking for the thread that had pictures of the Kirkham pulleys, but then I got distracted by 392Cobra's avatar and forgot what I was looking for
. Also keep in mind that an underdriven alternator pulley might have trouble charging your system as well. I did run across this post though that at least referenced the Kirkham pulleys:

Good to know that March made it right for someone but you won't find that combination on their website. Kirkham has some really nice billet aluminum bits for reasonable money.
The alternator can be positioned high with the standard brackets from a Ford Pickup or can be positioned low with the set that accomodated the air pump from a later Ford. They aren't very nice looking, just utilitarian Ford parts.
I found many billet bracket sets when I was looking. Do a google search and see what you find. Most of the billet sets were very expensive but looked pretty good. I settled for ceramic coating the stock Ford bracket parts and it looks fine to me.
Good luck.
