Ford Taurus SHO 3.4L V8 Serpentine Drive Belt Routing Diagram & Pulley Guide
Accessory drive belt routing diagram for the 3.4L SHO showing belt path over nine numbered pulleys with a parts identification table.
This document is a factory-style schematic showing the accessory drive belt (serpentine belt) pulley routing for the 3.4L SHO engine. The diagram (reference number Q3736-A) illustrates how the single drive belt winds around nine components, each identified by a numbered callout. An accompanying legend table lists each item with its Ford base part number and description: (1) power steering pump pulley 3A733, (2) right-hand idler pulley 6B217, (3) A/C compressor 19703, (4) the drive belt itself 8620, (5) crankshaft pulley 6312, (6) drive belt tensioner 6B209, (7) generator (alternator) 10346, (8) left-hand idler pulley 6B217, and (9) center idler pulley 6B217. A reader can use this document to correctly route a replacement serpentine belt on the 3.4L SHO V8, identify each pulley and accessory location on the front of the engine, and obtain the base part numbers needed to order replacement components such as idler pulleys, the belt tensioner, or the drive belt. The document contains no explicit model year, but the 3.4L SHO designation identifies its engine application.
