Some pics posted of my 8-rib conversion.

Here you can see some of the shims used on the tensioner.

Here you can see the extra idler pulley I added between the alternator and power steering pump. That is where I saw a lot of belt jumping on Marty's car. Also, some 5.4 trucks had an idler mounted in that approximate location from the factory, so it shouldn't hurt anything.

Here is a better shot of the brackets I made for the extra idler pulley.

Another step closer to a supercharger!

I don't know Brian, with the tensioner that was designed and built for my car, my belt is not jumoing around:

Martyo,
Your new tensioner sure looks a lot different than last time I saw your car.
Looks as if one of your problems has been solved. Looking forward to seeing it run someday soon.
