Not true. I busted my key way and the motor was fine. Ilthough it gave me a great excuse for a nice rebuild! And I have never had a problem with the piggyback system

Don't buy the piggy back style. I'd buy Steeda.

Steeda sells just the crank pully for $150 but it will require a belt change from stock.

I have a stocker in the shed I guess I'd sell for about $50 if your interested. I'll PM cell phone. I work at FSU so I could bring it tomorrow.

This is hilarious, the area in red which is the outer part of the pulley separated by injected rubber actually slung off. I'm guessing cause of age and the rubber being dried up and cracked. I guess the belt somehow came back on using the tensioner, but i drove home no problem.

No belt change for the Steeda U/D pullies, correct.

When I installed them on my 99 with a Windsor I could not get the stock belt to work. I don't remember if it was to short or to long. The first set they sent me was labeled wrong and had the wrong WP pully. I had already installed the crank so I didn't want to pull that off. I matched up belts till I found one to fit with just the crank and alt. pullies changed. When the right WP pully showed up I stuck it on and neither the stock belt or the shorter belt would go on with correct tension. I ended up just running the stock WP pully with the shorter belt I had purchased.

I had a set of Steeda's on my 96 gt motor & a second set on my 01 engine & they both used the stock size belt. I also didn't use the altn pulley on either one.

You can buy a nice crank pully/ballancer from March for like 150.

Well i ordered the pullies, then plan on installing them when they get here. Are you referring to a quick fix or something?

There is no quick fix. You can either buy, borrow, or steal another stock balancer in the mean time, or leave the car parked until the U/D pulleys come in. Trying to Jerry Rig the old balancer is going to get you stranded on the side of the road somewhere.
