I have a 91 5-liter I am installing a Vortech S-trim on. The belt Vortech ships with the unit is 54 1/2". There is no way I can get it to fit on the pulleys it is just too short. I even tried just hooking it up too the supercharger and crank pulleys with no tensioner in the way and it still will not fit.
It is close but I can't get it on after it has been lying in the sun with a pry bar. I have ordered a 55" belt that should be here in a day or 2.
I imagine the tolerances are different enough on these engines that Vortech can't get everything to work perfect with every car off the assembly line. This really has me tweaked though. I am a 6' 2" 270lb construction worker just so you are not imagining a 90lb stick trying to muscle a belt on.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Really aggravating
