I'm back..


I used to own a 91GT..

bought a 98 T/A M6..


now I sold that and I'm getting an 88 again.. feels good to be a stanger


but I need some help.. I bought a car... and I'm free modding it a bit to get it to where it needs to be in my eyes..


its got BBK equal lengths, 3.73's, bbk o/r X, spintech sportmans turn downs..

and other stuff.. but I'm ripping out about 200lbs worth of junk including a/c, smog, etc.. throwing in an electric fan.. an wondering what belt I would need?

You must like that humid heat if you're getting rid of A/C....

How is that belt routed?
Does it come close to hitting it's self over the WaterPump

I spent forever trying to figure out how to route it with a different belt, I think it was 79.5" long............I got close, but it rubbed over the waterpump

Does anything have to be moved, or relocated.............I want to get this figured out, so I can move on with the rest of my plans


Thanks
Duro

I just put it on and it clears it fine. i dont have the tensioner pushing down in the belt to make it hit the water pump.
