serpentine belt
Hi All, I have a 1995 5.0 Ho that I removed topend to install old carboration
still using serpentine system for the ccw water pump. Is it possible to use regular v-belt system (which would make pump turn cw)?. I know I would have to buy cw pump if they even sell one. Any suggestion is greatly received. |
Why???
|
so much less complicated for me.
|
The Ford motor has a weak nose, and with the serpintine belt you need way less tension than a conventional V belt. Also the way its routed the tension is spread around half of the diameter of the crank pulley.
|
OK understood, I would only be spinning the generator and water pump, do you think that this is a reasonable alternative?
|
I guess my question is, would the engine still have adequate cooling flow with a cw rotation?
|
Sorry I have only three pulleys too. It is simple for sure . If you change the water pump it will work just the same.Heres a link,

don't have much to loose as I have been trying to get the chance to drive this thing for 8 years. thanks much for the help! |
