Hi i have been wondering about getting a Gilmer belt drive kit for my 302 my questions are:
Any power gains or losses? Is it just for looks and sounds? Why does it sound like a blower on the car? Are they easy to fit? Any of this info plus more would be great,Cheers  |

I always thought they sounded more like a dry power steering pump than a supercharger.

Yeah, I'll second that.
And after years of perseverance, worn pulleys, thrown belts and no real performance benefit other than 'having a gilmer set-up' ; I think I might go some style of polyrib set-up. Might have to custom mix & match though. http://marchperf.com/gallery_ford.html#clev
