Does anyone know what the original brand and size of drive belt for a 1967 427 Cobra would be? Also the original brand of hoses? Thank you!

These threads may help................
427 Cobras used ray Brown belts, race cars and 289's Impact via Ray Brown

correct 289 COBRA "impact" / "ray brown" seat belts

seat belts ?

Reread question...........

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but weren't original hoses cloth weave covered rubber houses? Had a white stripe woven through the weave?
That rings a bell anyway.

That's along the lines of what I am thinking but I don't know what brand name they would be. I believe my 1967 Mustang has an 'Atlas' brand replacement belt that was kept in the trunk for emergencies but I am not sure.

Best guess is that the street engines came "dressed" from Ford and therefor would have "AUTOLITE" marked belts as were used for regular production. However the engine assembly manuals I have indicate that much of the engine dress was done at the assembly plant, i.e. power steering pump and bracket added, A/C comprsessor if so optioned. As the Cobra only had the water pump and alternator driven, it could be assumed that that was dressed at the engine plant. I can look up the FoMoCo part number and engineering number for a 427 with no acessories.

Marti Autoworks has reproduction Autolite belts but they are current style with original type markings.

I would assume that Shelby used a local source for the radiator hoses and they may be Ford or not. The "Atlas" belt you have is a 1960s aftermarket line that was commonly distributed in service stations (remember those?) and would not be OE.

from stories that are told about "production" as SA i would guess that many small items were locally sourced and not from the FoMoCo parts bins as one might assume.
