Q: in responce to nosey s post. i thought everyone should know hmm... i never considered this before. could one say convert an old vehicle like the one were discussing to a modern serpentine belt system by stealing the complete accessory rack off the front of say a magnum 5.2 motor did the bolt points change over the years i sure love the auto-tensioner and if youre already in need of an alternator and the ac is out youd be getting an r134a pump out of the deal it likely wouldnt cost that much more in parts at the local pull-it-yourself junkyard. if you are converting a v-belt system to a serpentine system check the rotation direction of the accessories. anything that runs off the back of the serpentine belt like the water pump rotates the opposite direction. there are serp belt conversion kits avail for the 5.2 and 5.9 l engines ill look in some of my catalogs laying around and see if i cant find you a good part number/source. i forget how pricey they are though. -- chris .
