On the under drive pulleys, if this is for a 5.0, what is a safe percent of under drive that still will get power to all the stuff that needs power, like the ac, and alternator?

theres really only one company that even makes an underdrive for the 5.0 panther, so whatever size that is, thats the one to getYou will want to upgrade the alternator though, the stock one just won't keep up with an underdrive pulley.

3g I assume? Ive got a question about some heads also, I posted in the 5.0 tech section, maybe you could answer about clearance of gt40p heads on a lopo engine with the flat piston heads and valves? I just don't want to thread jack here."Shakedown"- 1991 Grand Marquis GS Dual exhaust, Magnaflow xl turbos, Rear anti sway bar, Outlaw 1 wheels, 43k miles

Apparently they are dished and not relieved, so it should work according to lincolnmania, he said he would be concerned if it were the 86 or 87 because those pistons were flat top.

Still, if you're gonna swap heads on anything always make sure to test your piston-to-valve clearance, whether anyone says it will work or not.1998 Mercury Grand Marquis 131k~ true duals, 2nd cat removed, H-pipe, Xcelerator Turbo mufflers, PI Manifold, 180* Tstat, K&N drop-in.

easy way is to stick a blob of modeling clay on top of the piston, bolt the head down with a head gasket (used but intact is OK, as long as its the exact same type gasket you plan to use for assembly) and rotate the engine through 2 revolutions to get all the valve events. Measure how thick the clay is where the valves pushed it down, and thats your ptv clearance.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I am assuming that I will only have to do this on 1 piston, as the rest should be the same?"Shakedown"- 1991 Grand Marquis GS Dual exhaust, Magnaflow xl turbos, Rear anti sway bar, Outlaw 1 wheels, 43k miles

right. if its OK on one cylinder, it should be OK on the other 7 unless something was done very wrong when the motor or heads were assembled.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Here is the under drive pulley for the crankshaft. Midway down the page. You gotta call to order. Website has been funky for a while.

just curious:
How much PTV clearance do you need in a street engine to account for high-rpm stretching/slop/whatever?
