serpentine belt question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I might be able to pick up a good deal on a new chevy performance parts serpentine belt system, complete- new, never used, but I am wondering if it will bolt up to my old 1970 350 motor? any issues I might run into?

new performance part # 12497697 complete serpentine drive w/o AC

You'll need a reverse rotation water pump, which will stick your fan out a little further. IIRC, a 2 wheel drive fan shroud will be far enough forward that you can place the fan correctly in/out of it.

thanks for the info. I'll be using an electric fan so that should not matter to me but good to know.
the new "serpentine drive" listed above comes with:

new reverse water pump
new alternater
new power steering pump
a/c delete pully
mounting brackets, drive pulleys, hardware & tensioner & belt

anybody know if this will bolt right up or if there are any issues?

If the kit is complete there should not be any issues. Got one for my 69 GMC--had everything I needed and more.
