    Default Custom Length Serpentine belt?

    I need to know where I can get the same rib # but custom length serpentine belt for an M50 motor. This is for a custom application, anyone know where one can be had?

    Default Yeah, any autoparts store, you just have to take the measurements for the

    length you want and the number of grooves.

    Depending on the year its going to need a 6K x 1555 or 6K x1560, adjusting the second number higer will give you a longer belt.

    It's for a custom supercharger so i think it'll need to be considerably longer than stock

    You'll have to hope it does match something that is stock......if not, doubt you'll find someone that will make a belt for you...they are manufactured in a long tube then cut for individual belts. As mentioned you may want to visit your local auto parts store, find an actual paper catalogue and look in index for dimensions. Once you come up with a part number...you can Google it...

    Good luck.

    measure it with a sewing tapemeasure or string, measure it out, convert it to MMs and then go get a belt. Should be able to find something real close at any parts supply.

    in the latest turbo magazine there is a blurb about
    super strong timing belt from powr enterprises.
    it can go from 0 to 6000rpm instantly without losing
    grip.

    it says to contact then at 949 572 0645
    for applications - perhaps they'd be able
    to assist you?
