New Motor is in, but. . .

[Desnudo01]

I've been working on putting a 2001 SOHC 4.6L into my 96 over the past 2 months in my free time.

Tonite I finally got to start it! My tech question is:
I didn't have the right size belt though, I used the 01 Water Pump, and my Steeda water pump pulley was sticking out too far. So I used the stock WP pulley so the belt would align correctly. However, I'm still using the Steeda Alt. and Crank pulley's

Does anyone know what size belt I will need for this correction? Its an 01 Motor (2 idler pulleys) but still using the stock WP pulley and using the Steeda crank, and alt. pulleys

I turned the motor over a few times with no spark to lubricate everything, then jumped the dead battery with my blazer and it fired up first try

On a side note: Open MAC LT Headers in a closed garage is DEAFENING!

I'll be getting a belt tomorrow, and driving it to the exhaust shop to put on my H pipe and dronemasters!!

Man I miss this car!

Don't know size, but why not just swing by Ford or a parts store and ask for a drive belt for an '01 GT (SOHC).

i miss my 98 now but nice car man , but with that pic of your car in this thread i don't think your going to get a bunch of answers, more of people drooling over your car

btw - i agree with wipeout, just go to a ford shop & ask for the right belt

Contact Steeda and get the correct water pump pulley that goes with the 01 motor. I have all 3 Steeda pullies on with a stock size belt and have experienced no probs. The tensioner pulley allows for a little slack to be taken up so I think you should be fine with a stock sized belt.

I agree with 01blkgt the stock 01 belt should be fine but you will need the correct wp pully. They changed mid year in 01 and you will have to find out which one you need

The Steeda pulley from my 96 that I tried to put on the WP stuck out too far, I suppose I'll need to get ahold of Steeda and tell them I need the WP Pulley for an 02-03???

Why do you think a stock sized belt will work? Is the Stock WP Pulley the same size as the Steeda WP pulley? I don't think so, so the stock belt will not work
