I searched alot for the best deals around and managed to get heads, intake, cam, fuel pump, from one guy, computer and valve covers from another, headers from one other, two pick and pull yards for the injectors and 1985 fifth avenue dual exhaust and some pony wheels to encourage myself from another mustang guy. So i bared the whole thing to get a bath and did some grinding to my heads for fun!

and after a fresh coat of old ford blue it went in and i cut and welded some pipes from my mopar dual from pick and pull, last saturday i must say that i was really pleased with the new sound of my 4 month achievement.
right now i'm having trouble getting a serpentine belt cause of my smog pump delete, but i think that one for blazer 2003 without a/c will be fine. after all of this and last minute leak fixes the ride will still be a charm. My friend will also get me some marauder exhaust tips to beauty the thing a little

I can measure mine if you want. The part numbers are just rhe length and rib count, so any size available should be easy to get. As an example.
K6760
K6 means 6 rib, 760 means 76.0" long.

factory i had a 92'' one and i tried my 90'' wrangler belt, 84'' escape 3.0l and the best fit i had was the 87'' blazer one, 86'' is still too short it was the last i tried and i think 87 will be what i will use but if your kind enough you can tell me your lenght thanks

When I did my H.O conversion a long time ago, it was a night and day difference.

just did the 3g alternator swap today and with my 1997 3.8 mustang unit the pulley was a little bigger and my tought that the 2003 blazer 87.6'' belt was too long by half an inch is just gone because the bigger pulley just got what i wanted. interesting that one mod can cure 2 problems :D

i tried the 6k860 and it was too short and now it's the 6k870 and it fits perfect and even better with the bigger pulley on my 3g. maybe we have different routing or my a/c is dealer installed instead of factory or canadian cars and us cars don't have the same equipment
