I cant find my records of my belt, but I have the same year and run a short belt.  I will post if I can find it.

Yup, I think I ran a 88" belt too. Only reason to get a eliminator kit is to keep the stock sized belt.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Yup, but our mounting accessories are a bit different then stangs. We end up with a slightly longer belt I believe.

I just ask the guy at autozone if I can test fit a belt, get one that's way too long and six rib, then I route it how I need it and electrical tape the slack and use that to find the right sized belt. It's usually within an inch or two if ya do it right.
