Re: Big Block Serpentine?

Didn't the last TBI 454 trucks/Suburbans have a serpentine setup?

Thats a good find. It just adds up to way more than I want to spend. I was just thinking while I have the nose off and am doing a little clean up I would look in to it.

I had someone reach out to me with most of the parts Ill need. Just need to crunch the numbers and see if its the way I want to go.

Re: Big Block Serpentine?

I picked up a SBC serpentine set up for $50.00 Get one for a 5.7 and not a 4.3 and save your self a lot of trouble.

Why?

My set-up is technically off an S10 Blazers 4.3. Curious as the only difference I knew of was type of brackets (varied depending on year) & if they were equipped with or w/o a smog pump.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Yes, the BBC TBI trucks had their own serpentine set-up. But, it's not as common nor compact as the SBC set-up.

That was the driving influence for me behind using the sbc serp set-up & adapters. Cheaper, easier to source, lighter, & cleaner/closer (tighter) to the motor vs. the BBC set-up.
