When I Bought my blazer, EVERYTHING on the front of the motor was tired. One thing led to another - - - water pump started leaking, bolt broke off in the block, had been drilled before, and was not centered etc.
I bought the GM serp belt setup separate from the crate engine. The serp belt set is a clean way to go for all of us. Took a bit of work to get the lower rad hose to fit the way I wanted it to, and I swapped the P/S pressure hose fitting from the old pump to the new, and every thing else was a bolt on. I powder coated all of the pulleys before the install.

Nice looking engine compartment !!! Is that the T.B.I. serpentine set-up as mentioned by wideside72? It does look nice and the alternator stays on the driver side. Did you get the 350HO with the serpentine set up or did you add it afterwards ? I think I am ready to start swapping mine tomorrow, Thanks for the pic  |
