I concure with the above statment. When I bought my engine the pulleys were not the right ones for it and I couldn't find any. So I ponyed up the 500$ and got the ultra set up for serp conversion. It looks awesome with the new fan and polished everything

The only problem is he is working on a 385 series engine and finding one of those in the junkyard with serpentine pulleys on them will be difficult considering they only made them a few years in trucks.....and those may not even work or look well in a Mustang.

sorry for the hijack but does a serp. pulley kit offer any enhanced performance benefits or is it just for dress up?

V belts suck. Yes, serpentine is a huge improvement.
1. The tensioner automatically keeps the belt the proper tightness.
2. One belt rather than several.
3. Less slipping.
4. It's very easy to replace a serpentine belt, just put a wrench on the idler, pull to loosen the belt and pull it off or install.

Far superior in every way IMO.

I have to agree with you and that is why I did the conversion. Very simple and straight forward swap...

This is how 12sec67 and I have our setup, except no tensioner. The belt runs up the pump and straight to the alt. Belts are cheaper too when they are only 40.1 in.

I've owned an '89 GT and several late '80s and early '90s Ford V8 cars/pickups - as well as my Mustang and other assorted older stuff that used V belts. The serpentine is really a joy to work with compared to every V belt set up I've personally had to fix.

Your engine looks terrific. Thanks for the picture, I saved it for future reference - I need to rig up some brackets for my 351c I will be putting into my car next spring.
