So I have a 1998 Crown Vic and did a motor swap with a 2007 Crown Vic. It seems the pulleys are not the same size and the belt is too small. I think in 1999 they started making them differently. What should I do ??

If you have replaced the motor with the 2007 4.6L then we need to use the belt for that engine.

Here are a couple guides that will help with this:

However, I attached the info below from the manual on how to replace it and the OEM part number that will help with getting the correct belt.

Please run through this and let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks
