Which crank pulley is the correct one to use?

wow that 88 must be way diffrent than all other years. i have never seen any pullys like that on a 3.0.

I don't think the Eclipse 3.0 one will work on the older motors. It's the same unit as the one I had on my 2.5 Avenger, and that was a lot deeper than a stock 3.0 pulley. It may bolt on, but your accessories may not line up. And as far as I know, there's no difference on any of the 3.0MMC pulleys, 87 on up should be the same.

I'm still waiting for an email response from fwdperformance on which is the correct pulley to order.

I will post the p/n when I get a response. The BPE link is dead so I can't find out anything there.

buy one of nicks pulleys, he makes by far the best pulley for the 3.0

nickboers@rogers.com

90 shipped, and like I said, its the best. He actually worked on 3.0's unlike any of those other vendors.

i had a bpe worked awsome

Thanks for the info guys!

Much appreciated.

Awesome! I'm gonna give that Nick guy an email.

[Ondonti]

Nick is a good guy. He still hangs around the 3.0 lists but he is a dsm guy now. He knows the frustration of finding 3.0 performance parts. Thats why he still makes our pulley. Its not really a big money maker for him considering how few 3.0 modders there are.

[edraws]

Still waiting for an email back from him.

Has anyone ordered one lately?

[big_P]

He's not responding to me either.

I think Nick had relatives in Louisiana. Not sure, I seem to recall him mentioning it once though. Been a long time since I talked with him in any case.

Does anyone know the part number for the FWD Perfomance 3.0 underdrive pulley that will work on an '88 3.0??

I haven't received any responses from emailing them and I just wanted to order one.

Unfortunately, Nick got out of the 3.0L game a few years ago. He has the last batch of his pulleys on ebay. So, now the only source of 3.0L underdrive pulleys is Forward Motion. The pulleys for the 2.2/2.5 motors won't work, IIRC.

@ Mwinkle,

Do you know the correct Forward Motion part number?
