Looks damn good if you ask me. I run a 305 in my truck and it's been a good motor that hasn't given me any problems. Some people swear by them and others just swear at them. Also, I have my serpentine belt routed the same way as yours and it works great. Keep us updated on the install of your motor.

For what it is worth….that is not a serpentine belt. That is a multi-groove belt. Serpentine belts wind around accessories not just a spin a water pump and alternator from the crank.
This is a serpentine belt equipped engine…. |

And yes, that is a good looking engine. You have good taste in your components! My point was your belt routing is not a true serpentine belt set up as the thread title reads regardless of the “serpentine belt...or serpentine conversion” arguement. If you do some searching on this board there is a ton of discussions about serpentine belt conversions and I felt your thread only contributed to the confusion most people have on what a serpentine system actually is. You have a multi-groove system and yes, you are correct….a true serpentine system runs a multi-groove belt as well. The description you surfed up on the internet of what a serpentine belt is entirely accurate but that is not what you have in the picture. I sure am glad I didn’t crawl on my “motor” pet peeve with you. Motors are electric and ENGINES run on fossil fuel! (that was a joke, but it is true….relax) :lol: Maybe because I am employed by a truck manufacturer and deal with anal automotive manufacturing terminology on a daily basis causes me to be somewhat fussy with those that are not up to speed with the correct terminology. Sorry. We are glad you are here. And…..that is a great looking engine by the way. |
