Default pulley size

i have reason to believe the previous owner of my car installed an underdrive crank pulley, but i have no means to verify this "accusation" of another mustang owner i work with.

can anyone tell me the stock pulley size?
any identifying marks on it? like a ford logo?

The stock pulley is like 5in in diameter, an underdrive pulley is 3in in diameter.

Just went out and took a rough measurement on my 87 and it is about 5 13/16" in diameter at the ribs, under drive crank pulley should smaller.

With underdrive pulleys, you'd have to use allen head bolts or somethin. The stock one wud have hex bolts that wont fit in the underdrive pulley.
