Well, when you look at the Ford part numbers for the belts the middle number is the length in inches.
I just ran my VIN through the VIN decoder and heres what I found.
Original belt JK6-834-E so it was 83.4 inches, BUT that belt is superceded directly by JK6-842-A which is 84.2 inches.
For some unknown reason the 2004 SVT lists a JK6-841-A which is 84.1 inches.
The regular Zetec's those years also show to use the 842 so it really shouldn't matter. The tensioner should have enough movment to make up for a 1 inch variation in belt length.

Thanks Steve. I actually picked up a regular Zetec belt yesterday and they gave me a 83.7" belt (no-name brand). It was VERY tight but fit. If this one goes, I'll probably just get an 84" belt.

zx3r_type is correct, the tensioner does just that, sets the tension of the belt. However, if the belt is too short and maxes out the tensioner, you might loose bearings. Just make sure the tensioner can still rotate 'looser' when you are done.
-good luck
