I wanted to replace my stock pulleys on my idler and tensioner on my 94 5.0 and the only polished aluminum ones I could find were made for 87-93 5.0. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to adapt these to work on the 94?
thanks

The pulley itself will bolt right onto the tensioner. Is this what you are asking, or do you want a polished tensioner arm also?

No just the pulley. I have polished aluminum pulley for a fox and I put it on the idler and the belt tenisoner it bolts up fine but once it's bolted up the pulley will not rotate.

You may have to add one thin washer to the back of the pulley. I had to.
