i have a 6.78" crank pulley and want to upgrade to a 8".....

problem is the s/c belt with the 6.78" pulley is already really close to my water pump pulley. i really think the belt on the 8" is going to hit...unless 8" is spaced different. idk

has any one have any experience with this on a fox body 5.0

the sc belt should be in front of the main belt so clearance should be fine. any pics of how it is now?

I will get some close up pics tomorrow.... The s/c belt it close to the front of the water pump pulley not near the original belt

id have to see pics. but would a smaller wp pulley help out? if so, they are easy to find

I thought about going with the 93 cobra water pump pulley... But it's not the part were the belt sits... It's right up next to the bolts of theater pump pulley pics later today

un less is spaced just alittle different..... and no one can give me a straight answer vortech says o know it will work only differences is its 8inch... in my case i dont see how is would work.

would you happen to have a pic of a 93 cobra water pump pulley on a motor

you have a picture of the sc belt tensioner? one not so zoomed in?

the reason i ask is because i remember when i had a v1 the idle pulley bolted to a bracket. that bracket had two holes in it. if you attach the pulley to the lower bolt in that bracket, itll lower the point the belt runs up to. this may give you a little more clearance. id also like to see how close the belt is to touching itself as it wraps around the tensioner pulley

Pics soon thanks for the help but I already put the s/c idle pulley to the lowest Bolt

i lied the idle pulley is on the top bolt
