Serpentine setup for inline 6? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know if someone makes a kit for this? I am thinking of keeping my 64 as basic as possible as far as the engine and trans but was thinking a serpentine setup might be pretty cool mod if it could be done......plus less chance of slinging a belt off

Just wondering if you could use the setup off either the 5 cyl in the canyon or the 6cyl in the trailblazer???

My guess is the crank pulley is the hard find there

You could use the balancer off an lt1 with a serp. belt .. i have one and it looks like it could be modified to work .. if you are familiar with it .. also some 4 cyl GM engines had a short hub that worked on the 4 cylinder I am sure it wont be a bolt together but the LT1 used a serp. belt runs on what would be the outside of the harmonic balancer, with the 4cyl ,hub you may get it to tuck in close enough to the cover that you could make it work ....
