Well I guess that it probally dose not matter! I have a few little questions for you motor guys ! I wanted to post a link but could not find, pic at summit !

Here is the info ! I am looking at this serpentine belt things ! The one I am looking at is on PAGE 254 bottom left hand corner, It is the march kit ! (in the jan/feb 2004 catalog)

Part # is MCH-20270

Now my question has anyone here used this application ? Do you like it ? Was it worth it ? Easy install ? pro's and con's ? I am running power steering, a/c, alt, water pump ! So I wanted to get some feed back ! Thanks Landon

Looks nice. But is more than I payed for my truck. . . . . . .

miket · 12-30-2003, 12:43 PM

Hey Landon....I like those setups but can't see the $$$ part of it. They sure look good.....

landon4421 · 12-30-2003, 12:49 PM

Not to sound like I have money or anything ! I am not even close to rich !

I spent $3000 + for the frame and I am not done yet.

:p I am looking at a nice show truck !

It will be two or three more years before the truck is done. I was just looking for some info on the deal ! how good they were and such ! I know it is pritty pricie, but I can work it into the budget some place !

Thanks for the input guys !

Landon I have heard they have good stuff...I thought someone else came out with a kit like this too......vintage air? not sure of thats right but it looked good. Thats an awesome setup.

Ive been looking for one of those setups also Landon. I'm thinking two serp' belts. One for the power steering and another for the water pump, etc.

I would like to see what kind you are talking about ! do you have any info on it ? I am still in the planning stage, so any other ideas are totally welcome !

Mudder · 12-30-2003, 02:08 PM

Hey Landon, My roommate/friend has a 95 chevy with a 502 and the march pulleys on it. He has a problem keeping the power steering pump tight. Of course he is running on BB power and the pump is running the steering and brakes (hydroboost). He got a stock 454 pulley setup and has yet to switch to that, but hopes that this fixes the prob. But other then it not staying tight it looks nice.

they need to stay tight

I am still shopping for something, just getting an idea of what is going on ! :p

Hey, look at Alan Grove Components (www.alangrovecomponents.com) I think.

I put a March setup on my coupe's 350. It threw a wrench in the works for using my offenhauser manifold and Chevy valve covers without breathers because the water neck got in the way of the mounting bracket. The water pump needs to be reverse running, like from a Corvette. Belt is a stock # supplied by March depending which setup you are running. It's been on there for about 5 years with no problems.

Here is the water neck in the way...

pierce · 12-30-2003, 06:08 PM

Here it is with new manifold and March setup...

pierce · 12-30-2003, 06:09 PM

Front view sure is pretty too bad it's hidden by the radiator...

landon4421 · 12-30-2003, 06:40 PM

It does look pritty good, pierce :p

gr8scott51, thanks for the link ! I will check into it right now !

dinnut · 12-30-2003, 06:42 PM

serpentine systems are nice... but what ive noticed looking at them is that they are very expensive usually. thats the only part i dont like about them. anybody found a cheap reliable one?

Good question ! I am still shopping so if I personally run across one I will let you guys know ! :p

landon4421 · 12-30-2003, 06:54 PM

Some of these are cool ! granted they are not serpentine, but it still looks good !

gr8scott51 · 12-31-2003, 01:53 AM

Yeah, I know, but I thought you might like to save some money. Nobody needs all that billet aluminum anyway - LOL. Alan Grove makes quality stuff. I bought the low mount stuff (works with long water pump) so my altenator and power steering are both lower than the valve covers (I can see more of my engine that way). I got mine powder coated. Good luck, scott
