I just rebuilt my motor and put it in and ran it for the first time tonight
Only promblem is, is that it is overheating...BAD. My question is, is that i removed my ac and s/p, so i had to run the belt to where it spins the w/p reverse of what its suppesed to, would this cause it to over heat...by the way, i have an 180* thermostat , OEM waterpump and radiator, and an electric fan,
Thanks for all the help.

what year stang ya got? 87-93 have reverse rot. pumps, are you saying you had to route your serp. belt diff. and now your pump is going forward? If so YES that would cause overheating. I have no a/c s/p and my belt is correct.

run your water pump the correct way and you should be fine. otherwise you may as well not start the car again.

forget the size, sorry and the markings are rubbed off the belt. 2 options get a piece of string and run it like you would the belt(the correct way) measure it. You should be close. Drive to the nearest parts store and grab a few belts go out to your car and try em out till you find the right one. Thats what i did.
