Anyone used one besides the GM Performance?

roj2323 · 11-23-2005, 08:06 PM

how about pulling a setup from a junkyard? it will probably only run you $100.

Well, I tried that last week, but with no sucess. The salvage yards here in the DFW area are pretty much gutted.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

I got a full set-up off ebay for 175, including alt., ps pump, belt, a/c comp. May be worth checking.

*bisquik65* · 11-24-2005, 03:31 PM

I have a few setup's here And i can get you one shipping included for $150 to your door,everything you need alt,p/s a/c ect...from a 90 astro van 4.3 will simply bolt up..

67Fleet · 11-24-2005, 03:42 PM

what is the advantage of the serpentine set-up? I'm interested.

phantom dually · 11-24-2005, 04:28 PM

I have one that I just took from a 92. Everything you need. There is a thread for it in 88-98 parts board.

It lets you run a late model a/c comp for available parts,and the late model alt. are higher amps for more accy's and stuff. One belt instead of 3 just carry one spare...More that one reason... And it looks cool too..

Bisquik65 What is all involved in changeing over? I have a 327 with the short water pump. So can this be done. And what do you get other than the pullies and brackets.

cableguy0 · 11-25-2005, 02:01 AM

you have to get a reverse rotation water pump and the proper fan and clutch but other than that its a bolt on deal

riden2low · 11-25-2005, 02:41 AM

Hey cableguy, thanks alot on that,. I just got off of ebay and found a set up with every thing. Came off a 99 vortec engine. I saw others but lot of heavy brackets. The vortec looks pretty compact. Didn't even think about the fan. Just bought a new fan shroud too. May go with electric fan and clean it up really good.

That would be great to see a picture. I will watch for it. That would be killer to get a set up like that. I am always tightening up my Alternator and I am just tired of dead battries, you know.
