You see those 2 bottom bracket bolts on either side of the timing cover? Very Important.


look at that........... pics........

I like this idea, I didn't even think about the 4.3 serp setup. 4.3 is basically 5.7 with front 2 cylinders chopped off right? You should be able to get a clean set at pull a part pretty cheap. Clean it up paint it and your good to go with a reliable belt drive.
