I tried using the ThumpRRR Racing tensioner
But it tensions in an anti-clockwise rotation and the 5.0 Foxbody cars take a clockwise rotation tensioner. ThumpRRR Racing said they could not modify to work on a 5.0 Mustang, even though their site claims the tensioner will work on all 84-95 Fords. They at least took it back and credited my card back the $510.00 that bad boy cost. As the drag car I am building is using an 8-rib serp belt to drive the Kenne Bell 2.8LQ supercharger to the tune of 20+psi I am looking for something a bit stronger than the stock cast tensioner. Anyone have any ideas?
