I just put underdrives on my car like 3 months ago and I'm about 99% sure my crank and waterpump pullies had a Ford emblem stamped on them somewhere. I got the stock pullies in my shed but I don't feel like walking through 20" of fresh snow to go look right now so maybe ill check tomorrow.

Are these even worth installing? I read conflicting reports regarding charging system issues and its always a pleasure hearing Adders opinion

I never had a single problem when I had underdrives on my car, but there wasn't much in terms of gains either...

Waste of money in my eyes, especially when I took them off after one season

an underdrive crank pully will be almost flush with the balancer, stock ones are larger than the balancer. Also the water pump pulley is rather large on a lot of setups not much smaller than the power steering pulley.
