TXT Vanguard Big Block Drive Belt

[mgray70]

This TXT has a big block vanguard conversion and needs a drive belt. I know very little about these things. Do they use a stock size belt or does it need a different size? Or a performance belt?

Missed this post since it wasn't in the big block section.

If you are making your own engine cradle you'll have to measure for your belt or make the mounts fit whatever belt you want to use. If you are using a cradle made by one of our sponsors, you'll want the belt they sell for it. Alot of times you can use a stock sized belt but might want an upgraded HD belt that has better materials to withstand the torque. It's always best to have an adjustable engine cradle/mount so you can fit a variety of size belts and/or have the ability to adjust the deflection in your belt.

It's a cart that came in my shop. I don't usually work on many gas carts, but the guy says "it only needs a belt" I thought "how hard can that be, I've replaced several belts before". This is what I found when he brought it. I didn't figure a stock belt would work, and sought help here to find the correct one. I have one on the way.

Glad you got it sorted out.
