Mustang, I looked for these pulleys for my 300 and e-mailed two online companys that make them and they both said no,I can't remember the names, good luck.

If your truck has a serpentine belt, the pulleys from a 302 should work fine. I bought a kit for the 302 and used the alternator and P/S pulleys . I didn't use the waterpump pulley but I know it fits on my 90. If you are in doubt, call someone like Summit Racing and verify the inside and outside diameters.

Power pulleys are a set of replacement drive pulleys featuring a smaller damper pulley and larger alternator, water pump and sometimes power steering pulleys. They reduce the speed of the belt and further reduce the speed of the alternator and pumps.

This performs a couple of functions. First, it reduces the parasitic horsepower losses from running the alternator and pumps leaving more HP for moving the vehicle. Second, if you've done a gear ratio change they compensate by reducing the speed of the belt driven components at highway speeds.

They're a very common and useful modification to a 5.0 Mustang where the 3.08 gears have been replaced with 3.55 or larger

There is a down side, they reduce the charging rate, engine cooling and air conditioning capacity at low speeds, so if any of those areas are marginal, they can create a problem.
