i beleive it could be the 045 polaris belt. but i could be wrong. been awhile since i had a 500 engine in my centurion. cant believe the dealer cant give you a part #. my dealer still has the old micro-fish and looks up part #'s for my '80 txl. i know you want a factory belt, but might try dennis kirk for an aftermarket, might be a bit cheaper. they run just as good.

Some polaris dealers only use computers to look up parts and the software only goes back to 85 or 86.Some are good on the vintage stuff some aren,t.They should be able to help you on the belt,if not most aftermarket belt manufacturers have a listing.

motor is a 650 hansen race motor, basically the same as a HTG race motor (hot-to-go). 160 hp. strictly a speed run sled for ice only. i beleive our best run in 1,000 ft was a little over 114.

sounds like the sled i been tossing around in my head get a centurion indy and put rxl engine, efi, pipes and xtra 12 all around, maybe 136, not practical but would be sweet lol

would one of you guys with a 79-80 centurion do me a favor and measure your hood? how long front to back, and how wide they are? got another idea that wont leave me alone till i figure out if its doable or not lol

I believe the original belt was the 042. The 045 I think is the updated version of the 042. Basically the belt off any Indy 400, 500, 600, even up to the XLT wedge chassis sleds all took the same belt I believe.

Belt number is 3211042.

According to my Intertech book, this belt was very common starting in 1976 to at least 1986 where the data ends. Every Polaris in model years 1984-1986 except the SS used this belt. IE: Indy Trail, Indy 400, Indy 600.....
