What size short belt for this combo ?

[Katmandu]

Ok, I just did the 3G alternator upgrade along with a smog delete and installed an underdrive crank pulley on my 5.0.

In addition, I swapped pulleys with my stock alternater (50mm) Vs the 3Gs (60mm).

My chart shows an 84.5" belt (which I just tried) and it's a bit too long.

I don't feel like running back and forth to the parts store chasing belts down and reinstalling them.

Would anyone know the exact size with my underdrive pulleys and smog delete ? :shrug:

I doubt anybody will know. Just go to the parts store, buy about 5 belts, and return the ones you don't need.

wrap a peice of string around them and measure the strings width

use the string method its works good but make sure you leave a little slack for the tensioner
