Nd4spd_150 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I used a march pulley bracket system when i did that on my Fox......the easiest way to get you belt length is to take a string and loop it through all the pullies the way it needs to be routed and then take that to the parts store. If you get on Marches website the have pic of that setup and that how you route it...if you want those brackets i still have them. They are yours if you want them.

Dave1647545494 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I didn't like how close the belt was with the smog removed so I got the idler bracket that goes in its place then you can retain a mostly factory belt routing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 make sure you use a water pump with the correct rotation! some of those routings are standard some of them are reverse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawnman Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 make sure you use a water pump with the correct rotation! some of those routings are standard some of them are reverse... I think the 5.0 from the gt 's are reverse rotation and everything else is standard rotation ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I think the 5.0 from the gt 's are reverse rotation and everything else is standard rotation ? nope...most of the later stuff after mid 80's was reverse! some ealry stuff was standard..

lawnman Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I had a similiar situation, I ended up doing what Dave did. I still have a couple of extra serpentine belts from when I was trying to get the right size if you want them. I think they are 70" and 73" . I would have to check to be sure.
