serpentine belts

I notice that the GM conversion to serpentine belts is available form Jeg's
at 1-800-345-4545 for chev engines both small and large blocks for about
$190. Everything you need, pullys etc comes in a kit. Have not had time to
see if they also have one for the olds.

A few years back - maybe 3- I talked to the owner of March and he
indicated that he had done some for a 455 and 403 but had problems with
getting them to fit properly. He said there was not a large enough
market for them so he would not pursue it further. Perhaps if he had
a committment for 10 systems he might reconsider. On the other hand
Leigh Harrison has it done, but his cost is high compared to a mass
produced March product which is entirely understanable. Leigh's parts
have always been done first rate and his pricing is fair for value
recieved.

Just a seconder re above.
I have just finished installing the LH serpentine scheme and it went in
easy. (Easy as anything else we do to our coaches
Considering the thought and designs time that probably went into it I feel I
received good value for my $.
Just a 2 cent'er
