I am able to get a set of power pullies for a 87-96 5.0L ford engine and am curious if they would fit MY 1995 4.9 300-6. I've heard before that they will but i want to double check. thanks!

 

If those pullies are only for the water pump and alternator, you're all set, but, if they include a crank pulley, don't bother. The 300 uses the damper for a pulley.
1982 F100 SWB 4x4
300 HD, 9.5:1 compression
Clifford 270H, Hedman Hedder
2½" unmuffled duals
NP 435/205
160,000 miles, 152,000 as a 2wd
1985 F150 HD, 300 HD
70,000 miles

 

It has all three.....

 

It may use the damper as a pully, but mine doesn't have a damper at all. is this odd?

 

Kamelon, your truck does have a damper, it just might not look like it, if it didn't have a damper, all that would be sticking out of the timing cover would be the crank snout... The outer ring of the 300's damper is the belt pulley, and, that's probably one of the reasons they are bad to slip....

Just a sidenote here...

On a low RPM engine (like oh, say, Ford 4.9's...) the most you'll probably be doing is making it look good if the pulleys are aluminum.

Plus, spend 7 minutes reading :

it makes OK sense to me, and he even mentions Ford there, too.

But one way or another, please post the end result of your labor and results here. Should be helpful to other I-6'ers.

 

 

u guys dont know what u are talking about they work try changing gears in ytour mt bike your giving bad advice we pay 275 a gallon here in cali .... i went to the electric fan and gained 10 hp and 2 mpg and on top of that my 94 f 150 runs so much better without the belt driven fan i and upgrading to underdrive power steering and alt you are giving bad advice the underdrives and electric fan setup on a late mod f150 work big time...upgrade and feel the HP from daily driver

 

way to dig up a post from 2002...

and u are not correct either, sir. underdrive alt pulley will slow the speed @ idle down so it will not produce enough amps to power ****. underdrive pulleys on a low revving engine DO NOT help

 

Dang this is old....I don't even have that truck anymore...and the truck I replaced it with, doesn't even have that motor in it anymore....lots changed in 3 yrs.

 

This clown dug up EVERY pulley thread we've ever had. The most recent one was 2 years ago. He hasn't posted on any thread not about pullies. One got deleted, I'm guessing because it got ugly.

 

i reported several of his posts...

 

Just out of curiousity... Do you have to have the matching set of waterpump, alternator and crank pulleys, or can you get away with just putting on the underdrive waterpump and alternator pulley?

If that's all it takes, i'd consider buying a cheap set off of eBay or something just to play around with.

Is there a particular year of 5.0 that I have to get it from or will any foxbody Mustang set do? Is there a diff between Mustang 5.0 and F150 5.0 pulleys?

Thanks, and sorry for responding to such an odd old post lol...
