Do you think this would work? On a big block I was thinking of a single triangulated serpentine belt to run my alternator, power steering pump and crank. I will have an electric water pump so no pulley to run. If I can modify the power steering brackets to line the pump up with the crank and alternator pulleys I think it might work. I would use the stock tensioning method on the alternator (or turnbuckle style). Has anyone done this or am I crazy?
Thanks,
Steve

serp belts need a good amount of wrap. I would guess that it would work. Only one way to find out! You could always add idlers if it doesn't work.

I thought the stock PS bracket would have put your PS pulley out in front of the alt and water pump pulleys. Did you have to do anything to get that to line up?
Thanks,
Steve

It will work just fine. we did one for a customer with an ultra low mount ac compressor and the stock alternator in the stock location.

We use a single serpentine on the heads up car. Runs the alternator(yes we have one) vacuum pump all driven by the crank. Motor sees 10,000rpm on pretty much every pass with zero issues.

Stock power steering belt sits out in front of the wp/alternator towards the end of the ps pump shaft. The GM pulley has the belt in towards the pump housing. You just have to switch to the later press on shaft ps pump, mine was off a 77 Aspen. If you are using the stock mopar alternator you can get that pulley from March also. March crank pulley 10301, Water pump pulley 10312, Stock mopar alternator pulley 214

we sell just the power steering brackets if you want to run a mini zf pump. and a stock pulley will work on that.

Jerry, I checked out your website but didn't see the brackets listed. I guess I need to call for info? I'm not familiar with the ZF pumps but I looked online and they seem to be expensive (if I'm looking at the right part).
Thanks,
Steve
