i'm getting ready to buy some pulleys, and i was wondering what people suggest...i have an '89 5.0 and definately want to go to aluminum, just unsure on which brand to purchase, or if it even makes a difference brand wise? I'm looking at march right now, but i noticed nobody on here is running them...is there a reason for that? ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

I'd go with the anodized blue FMS parts. Best quality part out there, pulley wise, imo.

I'm running the powder coated blue Ford Motorsports on my 92 5.0. It's the 3 piece kit. I felt a significant difference in the before and after. The whole pulley system felt more free.
If you're running a stock alternator, be ready for the pullies to drain the amperage out of the alternator... however, a simple 3g alt. upgrade will get rid of that problem. Good luck.

nope....you get most of the benefits of your pullies and full charge on the electrical side - no issues at all...

I never had an issue with the alternator pulley and I had an electric fan so sometimes You run into a problem and sometimes You don't. Make sure to keep the stock ones in case You put a supercharger on it one day ![[Wink]](wink.gif) .

ok, so u can put on the crank and water pump pullies and u will still get some power from them? does this apply to a sn95 5.0 too? or no? and can i use the stock belts too?
cuz i have some beat too, and i heard it not a good idea to use the alternator pully with beat.....

just to be safe, put on the crank/water pump pullies...you'll ge about 80/90% of the benefit of a pulley swap. They'll work with your sn95... Not only that, but it takes about half the time because you don't have to pull/swap your alt pulley...
