Default Difference between fox body and sn95 pulleys?

I have a set up fox body pulleys (main/alt/wp). I'm switching the front dress to sn95. Can I re-use any of these pulleys, or do I need 3 sn95-specific pulleys?

This motor is in a '90 RX-7, I need the extra hood and radiator clearance that the SN95 front dress provides.

How much for the 3 from the fox body you are taking off?

The SN95 front setup is different from the fox's. If you use all of the fox pulleys together the line up of the belt should be fine. You will have to be sure to use a fox water pump and powersteering pump just in case.

i would suggest just switching to underdrive pullies well your doing this because it sounds like your building more or less a racfe car, although i couuld be wrong. this may not be a good idea if you have a fox alternator the often cause discharges issues with u/d

I can't remember if the ones I have are underdrive or not. I bought them new a while ago when I started this project, but I know I had to elongate the holes for the water pump, apparently it had a slightly different bolt layout (I think it was for a t-bird or something, I can't recall).

I'm using the sn95 waterpump, since it's shorter than the fox pump. As far as I can tell the timing covers are the same thickness, so the shorter sn95 wp will give me the rad clearance.

I guess I'll just bolt it all up and see of the pulleys line up (wp is in the mail right now, just received the accessory brackets and timing cover).

If I need to change them all out, I'll sell them.

Should be 91-93 t-birds and 94-95 mustangs have the same front dress, and some explorers (I forget the year) have the same timing cover and water pump. At least that's what I found out through research.
