I can only not work on something for so long. Just ordered up a bunch of Lincoln Navigator pulleys. See if 8 rib pulleys and belt will curb my belt slippage.

I’m not noticing slippage in the datalog but I am noticing belt dust. I have used dressing and it helped but didn’t seem to help long term. I also may get a machined snout and smaller pulley and might as well take advantage of that custom crank pulley
I don’t disagree at all. I have all these ideas in my head. It’s nothing I’m doing right away. Winter project will definitely be the inlet and maybe the snout and pulley.
you may be right, there is a lot of belt dust though. I didnt post a pic but i'm actually using a bigger idler to the left of the blower and it wraps even more. The blower pulley and crank are for an 8 rib belt so i might as well get the rest of the pulleys and run an 8 rib. If anything it wont look like I'm running the wrong belt and it certainly wont hurt.

I am running a Gates belt for superchargers. Not the green belt though. I think the 8 rib will solve any issue I'm having if its actually slipping. I don't mind the work and the pulleys were less than $100 and it'll look more complete with the whole pulley being utilized.
Water pump pulley was a bit of work. It’s a 1/2” bigger, water pump pilot hole was way big and bolt pattern different. Some lathe work and welding required. There was a huge lip on the back side I had to turn off. It’s about .032 from the crank pulley which means I need to remove to put belt on.

I have one for a 99 expedition. It looks like it should fit but wont know till i pull the old pulley.
I could cut out the hubs and weld in the old one or bore out or sleeve the new one depending on whats needed.
