460 swap-what belts can I use???

[Justshootme84]

Didn't find much thru search. 1988 F350 EFI 460 motor swap into an 84 Bronco, with the smog pump and A/C deleted. Looking for belt lengths or part numbers for the two serpentine belts. One for the stock alt/crank/fan, the other for the ps pump/crank/fan. I haven't seen an A/C-bypass pulley for a 460, but will one of those for the 5.0L/ 5.8L work? Thanks for any replies, JSM84

jsm- can't you purchase a belt for the 460 that didnt come from factory with a/c? I'm sure that not all F-350's had a/c in '88. as for the smog pump delete side, you might have to guessimate the length and go to local part store and find one thats close.

Yes, I thought a non-A/C belt might work, and bought one last week. It's about 12+ inches too long.

I took the old belts to the local NAPA store today, and got a measurement on each one. Gonna try a 468 for the alternator, and a 560 for the PS pump. The 468 is inbetween a 470 and 480, and they would have to order either one of them. If those fit, I'll post up the measurements, JSM84

Both belts fit just fine!!! The NAPA 60468 for the alternator is 47.5 inches long, and the 60560 for the power steering pump without A/C is 56 inches long. I found that both the NAPA and Dayco brand belts have the last three numbers correspond to the length in inches, which helped when searching for the right length.
