Need assistance w/ cross-referencing a serpentine belt (Ford-made) for my 4.7 V8V
Hi All....recently spoke with the local AM stealer/dealer (300 bucks an hr labor rate) re: new serpentine belt. The AM part is about 300 hundred and the labor is 2 hrs....
I am 99.9% certain that if can figure out how to "cross-reference" this part, I can find a Ford belt....the same way that my Indy exotic shop did for the O2 sensors when I was getting my new clutch. They sourced these sensors from Ford and saved me hundreds (a guess but I think I'm right).
Forgive my ignorance, but how would I even begin to search and how would I phrase it?
TIA, Tom

SO I spoke w/ Scudera parts and they were super helpful, providing me with prices and part #s for the feed idler (suggested but not required); pulley (required) and the serpentine belt ($137). I forgot to inquire about shipping costs from UK to Virginia.

Belts always have the size stamped on them. Need to find someone with a legible belt. Likely the belt will be available for a price much less than even scuderia. Maybe VAP would know or Steel Wings.
