Aren't they supplied with an 8 rib? Metco sells the lower hub and pulley rings, but I don't know about a 10 rib? As for a tensioner, I use a thump racing one on my 8 rib Trilogy and it's plenty wide to handle a 10.

I dont think anyone makes 10 rib A/C , and power steering pulleys for the 4 valve motors, an 8 rib accessory drive kit is more than adequate for a Whipple 3.4/4.0L

Thank you so much! I was thinking an 8 would be plenty. Lethal Performance has a note on their website "
NOTE: Cobra Jet 10 rib Serpentine belt drive is REQUIRED! " for the big ole 4.0L.
I don't know why they would say this. Flipped me out when I read that.
Again, thanks!
The 4.0L is going to be my winter project. And yep, I have to change a lot of things or replace with bigger and better. Like a mini or full tub, 9" cut diff, sending off the trans to get it in the big leagues, fuel, built motor 5.0, and on and on and on...

You do know the blower doesn't get turned by the accessory belt right? It has its own belt, lower hub/pulley and tensioner. Just order a 4.0 for an 03-04 Cobra.

+1 on what Justbob said, i just figured you wanted to upgrade your engine accessory drive to an 8 rib setup, but they are spun on two different belts.

Whoa! I didn't know of the two belt system they use. Chalk up another duh moment for me. Very cool to know. And yeah, it is going to be a beast but streetable. I'm not that crazy. Well, I do have a few people that will argue that I am. Thanks everyone!!!!
Sounds like someone is dreaming
Look us up if and when you start this project

No dreaming. It's going to happen. I need to finish my shop addition first. Then this winter I'll be in touch. Thanks all!
