Any suggestions on which idler pulley set to go with?? :nonono:
EDIT: Ok... i'm going with Billetflow, I just need to know the answer to post #7

I was coming home from NJ yesterday and about 45mins-1hour into the drive I see my battery light come on, so I get off at the next nearest exit and find a walmart parking lot to pull into. I pop the hood and to my surprise my belt was gone... It was basically shredded and hanging off the alternator. I keep a spare battery in the trunk just incase the alternator dies on me again, but this was basically the same thing. So I go for as long as I could on that battery and change it out on the shoulder of the highway when it finally died. Then I barely make it through the gates onto the post when everything in the car shuts off and i'm sputtering into the barracks. So this morning I go out there to change out the battery again so I can go to the auto parts store and pick up another belt, and I look down and see that idler pulley...

Yeah, that one. I felt around the crank pulley to make sure thats not damaged but didn't feel anything... I can't get a good look at it though. Also for the BF pulleys, I already have one of their 100mm's with bracket. So I would just order 2 more 100mm's and a 92mm then?

Oh yeah... I think I'm going to go with the Gates 8rib. But I have no idea what size, since the previous belt was from the ported blower w/aux pulley and it fit snug on the KB with a 3.5in pulley and no aux idler. I checked out the charts on BF.com and it's just for the eatons. With 3 100mm idlers and 1 92mm idler and a 3.5in pulley on a KB, what belt would I need?

Bf Ftw!

Your exact configuration isn't on my Belt Guide, but you should be able to guesstimate the size based on those that are shown. Look at the last table that includes some KB/Whipple configurations. http://stangshiftergaskets.com/belt_selection_guide.htm

IMO, I would go with a Gatorback belt. I put 2 diff Gates belts on my car and after 500 miles or so, they would start to chirp. Belt dressing didn't help either. I switched to a Gatorback and haven't heard a peep since. YMMV.

Metco idlers are beauties as well and second to none.

Awesome, thanks!

Hmm... looking like somewhere around an 81in belt? That sound about right? Maybe 82.5

Billet Flow Ftmfw !!!!!!!! :dancenana: :banana: :rockon:

Get a double bearing unit for next to the crank it really takes a beating.

Yes, the top two IMO are Metco and Billetflow. Doesn't get any better. The important thing is ditching the stock idlers. They're junk.
