Anyone running a serpentine small block setup?

If so, I would love to see some pics...

All in... and I really like the serpentine setup. I wish I had taken the time to paint the alternator and A/C compressor. Those are the most visable parts and the only ones I didn't repaint... Oh well, that's another project for another day. She's running great thanks to a donor '97 Ram pickup! The only obstacles I had were on the driver side of the block. There were a few casting pads that had to be clearanced for the headers and trimming the battery tray a bit... Now, on to the A/C upgrade.

go find a van ps pump. It clears the battery tray easier.

engine is a 2000 durango in a 65 coronet.
running painless efi.


van vs truck ps.

Thanks Andrew... What all did you do to get the A/C going? I have factory truck hose setup (1997).

I had installed the classic auto air setup in my car prior to the swap.
I had a hose shop make new hoses with the compressor end from the truck to match my old hose ends and length.

Actually haven't charged it yet, but don't think it will be an issue.

Did the same for the ps ends.

Thanks!

I was glad that my original 318 high pressure power steering hose swapped right over to the new unit...

I appreciate all your input/help.
