    serpentine belt drives

    Anyone have suggestions on converting an individual belt drive set-up to a serpentine? I'm thinking about trying to build something using some GM parts, but if there is a Mopar version that might just bolt on, that would be great!

    Well there is the TIII stuff. Problem is, you'd have to use the P/S bracket and pump which has the integrated spring loaded tensioner assembly, and the AC/alternator bracket which provides the mounting point for the idler pulley. The TIII AC/alternator bracket is made to bolt onto the Lotus head (not 8v), but it might give you some ideas at least.

    GEEEEZ Brad. You'd think I'd been badgering you about brake parts!

    Since I'm not familiar with the newer stuff, I'd hoped (incorrectly, it seems) that later models might have gone to serpentine drive and I might be able to adapt it, but I guess it's going to be a Heinz 57.

    Damn, I forgot about the brake parts again. I'll make a note to send them out.
