Serpentine Conversion

[CrewCabMan]

I have a couple of questions. A friend has a 94 S-10 Blazer with the 4.3 liter.I can buy everything of the front of the engine for $75 dollars minus the a/c compressor.
I am pretty sure that is a great deal. Will it work on my 84 K10 with a 383 sbc ? If it will what is involved in doing the 1 wire hook up on the alternator?
Any advice is welcome.

Yes, the 4.3 serp stuff will swap over to your sbc. I'm not sure about the 1-wire alt set-ups though. I just used the existing alt wiring & spliced the serp set-up plugs onto my 89 CC duallys wires.

Mine was done the same way. I have the early to mid 90s serpentine setup on the 76. It's the set up with the metal bracket before they switch to the aluminum bracket.

You should pay attention to the fuel pump area as the 4.3 has an electric and the brackets my interfere with your machanical pump.
There is something about the pass. side bracket and how it bolts to the V8 cylinder head that is not ideal. I just can't remember exactly what the problem was. Maybe not all the bolt holes line up?
Don't forget you need the water pump from the 4.3 as it's reverse rotation. (or get one for a later 350)
It will work just a few things to look out for...
