I am putting a p1sc on my car and I am in the middle of the install and can not find my stock crank and water pump pulley's. The water pump pulley is to big and rubs the belt on itself from the idler pulley. And the crank pulley is under drive so it will lower my boost if I use it. SO the question being......can I use any 4.6 crank or water pump pulley? from a F150 or crown vic/ merc if I can find a parts car or a salvage yard? Its hard to find anything older then the mid 90's mustangs in the junk yards around here. OR if anyone has stock pulleys they want to trade for my steel Mach under drive pulleys then let me know! ill trade straight up both pay shipping.

You should be able to get them out of the junkyard no problem. If I remember correctly, almost all of the crank and water pump pulleys are interchangeable. The main thing is the size of the units. The crank pulley is hard to remove without an impact but the water pump pulley will come right off. Try and find some crown vic police/taxi units. I think they had 4v motors and would provably have the right pump and crank pulleys.

F150's use 8 rib pulleys, so if you want to upgrade to an 8 rib setup, that would be a good way to go. Just order your blower pulley from reichart or procharger.

Is there a certain range of years I need to get the pullys from? or any 4.6
2v 3v 4v will work for crank and water pump? even 96-98 mustangs? lincons? good call on the F150 though, can I do a complete 8 rib swap from a 4.6 f150?
