5.0 Fox Help

[89powerhouse]

I swapped a 4 cylinder to a 5.0. I eliminated power steering and ac completly. Not even running eliminator pullies. I need an idea on how to run the belt because of the reverse rotation water pump. Can someone please help me out?

Only way with the stock tensioner and bracketry( is that a word...LOL) is tweek the stock tensioner so it applies pressure up instead of dowm. The other way is to use a March Alternator bracket setup.

If not that way, you will have to have a A/C eliminator setup.

Standard rotation water pump as well

Ya it's not like a water pumps terribly expensive why did you buy a reverse in the first place?

How do you "tweek" the tensioner to do that?

Not a must. You can use the Reverse Rotation pump, with a fliped tensioner. Looks like hell, but it works. Just have to keep the flat side of the belt against the Water Pump pulley.

Nevermind 5L5, I see what you meant. Your just saying its another option. And your right.

Yeah, i meant it as an alternative option. Looks clean IMHO
