    Anyone not running Vortech Water Pump Pulley?

    IS this possible without rubbing between the belt on the acc belt tensioner and water pump pulley? I keep putting shorter belts on it but it will start rubbing after I start my car up. I guess I will keep getting shorter belts to try if know one has any other ideas....

    I did'nt get a W/P pulley with my used kit either. I ended up using a Fox body pulley. You have to enlarge the hole in the center a bit to clear the W/P pilot shaft. Other than that it fits perfectly. Vortech wanted $70.00 for that freakin pulley .

    Is the Fox body one smaller than the SN95 one?

    When I switched to the 8"crank pulley on my 90 gt, I had to switch to a 93 Cobra Waterpump Pulley which is much smaller. Here is a sid by side comparison of the 93 cobra versus the standard fox body pulley if that helps you guys any...maybe one of them might work for you:

    Thanks guys. I'll probably try to get one of those 93 Cobra ones from Ford. I finally got a short enough belt that it doesn't rub. I really had to crank the tensioner to get it on. There is quite a bit of room. I don't know how long it will work after the belt stretches. I have heard that the 94-95 Cobras had a slight underdrive pulley set from the factory. Would that be a bigger WPP than the GT's?
