Pulleys??

Foxfirst846 · Apr 7, 2017

Hello All!! Newer member here. Not sure best place to post this or if I'll even get any replies... I was just curious what type of pulley setup everyone's running? I've seen some of the underdrive pulleys but can never find one for my power steering pump. I've had my A/C deleted before I bought the car and I know there's a bracket to move power steering up. I was also just curious what other options there was out there to keep from raising the pump up? I have noticed on top of my power steering bracket there's two hole like I could mount a dummy pulley there but not sure which I need?? I appreciate all of your guys input and help! Pictures would be great as well!

Input:

Don't use under-drive pulleys on a street Fox.

underdrive pullies on the street.

I have a 93 fox body 5.0 hatchback.. I intend for it to be a good sounding street car that occasionally I take to track and want to always out run a camaro!! I will most likely just be driving as my weekend warrior to shows and events with my kids. Modifications I'm not 100% sure of yet other than smog and ac deleted and edelbrock performer 5.0 upper and lower intake with 70mm throttle body and upgraded injectors I think 24 lbs.

I'd put the AC back on and run stock pullies and belt

Keep the A/C. It doesn't draw very much power when the compressor isn't turning, and resale value stays higher. Also keep the stock pulleys, and upgrade the alternator. Add subframe as well if it doesn't have them yet.

Foxfirst846 · Apr 7, 2017

The ac was deleted before I bought the car. The condensor and compressorcand all lines are all gone already. So adding the ac back in is not an option...

What belt setup are you using now?

Right now I'm running a 78" belt that is rubbing the water pump. So I'm not driving it much right now as I'm fixing a few other things. Just need to see what options are available other than moving power steering pump up with ac delete bracket.

Skip the pullies and just buy the $60 delete bracket kit from LRS. That way your accessories are secure and not rigged up.

Pullies are losing favor among stree driven mustangs because of the cooling/charging issues that can arise if they already have some underlying issues.

Rather than $100 on pullies, spend $100 on an explorer intake and TB instead.

@mikestang63 @A5literMan @90sickfox may have better suggestions for ya, but my (other) suggestion is-maybe look into adding an AC delete pulley to the stock compressor bracket :

Or an air pump delete pulley:

Here's best pictures I can get. It's still under renovation but put it together enough for photos.

Mustang5L5 · Apr 7, 2017

You only need the smog delete pulley with specific supercharger kits, otherwise just a slight change in belt routing easily eliminates the smog system

Mustang5L5 · Apr 7, 2017

Hmm, that's not a standard mustang PS bracket. It's Something different. The pump and pulley are not 1993 vintage either.

Is that original motor?

Even more reason for this

That has been most consistent option.. I was just curious what options were besides bracket that moves power steering up so high...

At this point, ussure because your accessory bracket for the PS setup is not standard 1987-1993 Fox

Foxfirst846 · Apr 7, 2017

I'm not sure. As far as I know it's the original motor... Just bought car in December and trying to problem solve all these issues...
