    I searched but did not find the info that I am looking for. I am wondering if all the pulleys and brackets from a 90 caprice 350 will fit right on my 1970 SBC. If I recall, they should bolt right on. The one I am looking at comes with all the goodies. Alt., PS pump, Water pump, A/C compressor.
    Does anyone have any pics of their setup?

    I believe you will have to drill a hole or two into the heads if you are running the original heads. Not a big deal but just a little something that you will have to deal with to be able to bolt the brackets to the motor.

    I would believe that you are in the wrong house to ask that question. One thing though. those belt systems require a reverse rotation waterpump. I'll pm you a link where the guys are a bit more friendly to "non traditional stuff and more willing to answer said questions".

    I don't know about the Caprice system, but we just put a system from the 4.3 V-6 on a 350 and only had to drill and tap one hole in the rs head. When we were at the U-pull it I looked at V-8 system and it looked the same but I don't know for sure.

    I want to run this on my 55 Chevy pickup. Maybe not "traditional", but necessary and within budget.

    V-8 and 4.3 V-6 are the same.

    I have run without needing to drill any holes. Go for it.
