Serpentine Belt Systems

Has anyone had any experience with the serpentine pulley conversions They sure are purty.

I liked what I got!  They are pretty!  It was pretty simple and easy to install.  I had to get a couple different bolts as one in the kit was to short and another was too long.  Other than that . . . pretty slick!   

[Madmax440]

That is pretty - Which did you buy March

[4Cruizn]

Yeah that's a MArch setup . . . they're here in the Detroit area.  I went to the shop as I wanted to order a kit and they told me that they had to ship it too me even though I wanted to pick it up as I was local.     But the kit was pretty nice!

What did it cost you This is the one that I am hoping to be able to get - Hope that it will work - I have a 440 Magnum.

I think it was 6 or 700 bucks if I remember right.  Certainly not as much as that setup!      I may use them again for the big block I'm building now too . . . undecided.

I love mine too....You can get them for about $350..but have to use your own brackets...there is a guy on ebay that sells polished stainless brackets for a nice price....that is what I got...

I saw 4Cs a while back and liked them so much that I bought a set for the 451 Im building. I havn't finished the engine yet, but they sure do look good sitting on my shelf

Well if you go serpentine then you will increase the belt area and reduce belt slip. They are also are less likely to throw a belt. I guess you also get a little weight savings(maybe 5-10 lbs) if you get the whole system with brackets and all. Other than that, you might gain like one or two horsepower from less parasitic loss from the reduce weight of aluminum pulleys. So to recap.....biggest selling point is how bad ass they look, then how they reduce belt slip, and finally how they improve your ET by .001 of a second....totally worth it if you ask me

Gotta give me some time.  Just was notified last Thursday that my back ordered lifters came in for my motor.  That was the only thing holding up my build.  Once I get the motor I will be bolting up a complete Tru Trac (sitting in a box in my parts room) to an aluminum 572 Hemi.  

Also saw that March has a new system out for the Hemi.

I've seen that picture of the march single belt system.I was impressed with the look for sure.Any that I've seen in cars look fantstic.I'm sure they're expensive.Never seen one on a small block.     Someday....
