about the 1.7 rockers...I tried installing the 93 cobra ones on my engine, and the stock pushrods seem to be a bit too short. I was told that the cup on the rollers are deeper so you need longer pushrods. just fyi

Close, the 94/95 models had the elbow, 93 was the last year they got the upper intake we've all come to know and love.

OK I got the pullies today. I ordered Summit Alum pullies, but got MR. Gasket, and what feels like steel pullies.GR any it says

1979-86 Mustang/Capri  #4759  2" shorter belt
1979-93 Fork Truck        #4759  2" shorter belt
1987-93 Mustang/ Capri  #4759  Stock Belt
1994-95 Mustang          #4761    Stock belt

I cant find out what part # I have because, well the stories above.
I was thinking I would be the 3rd one?  And when I put it on, will I really know if the stock belt is to big and I will need the 2" Shorter one?

The Link below is the EXACT set i got. Is the Crank pulley really that big? My 93 was just the 1" pulley without that big thing in the back.
