Serp setup for sbf

Post by NsTyFoX »

Hey guys im installing my turbo kit which is a drivers side mount, and instead of going through the troubles of trying to cope with the a/c i wanna yank it out. Only problem is my car has no power steering so i was wondering where i should locate the tensioner and how you guys would go about the serp setup?


thanks

electric water pump with march bracket kit or march, tfs etc a/c delete bracket that moves the stock tensioner to where the a/c was

other option is the march adj alt bracket with a standard rotation w/p

march style a/c delete

According the pic posted above he'd need a standard rotation waterpump and adjustment rod from March like this one correct? http://www.marchperf.com/pg51.html#rods

How about the way this guy did his?? looks like the wp is still reverse rotation

thats fine for a race only car. on the street that bitch would over heat... the belt has like a 1/2" conctact area on the water pump pulley with nothing to keep tension as the belt streches.

Makes sense and I don't own a fox with that setup but my pickup has been setup that way for over two years and has seen tons of daily driver usage without any cooling issues.. but it is a gm
