Glad you guys like it.. I've got about $7,000 tied up in just the motor,,still got tranny work and exhaust and a few other little things left,,,should be up and driving next week.. I can't wait to see how it gonna run,,still having a little issue with the new alternator,,,it seems that it is not turning off or something,i can hear a buzzing sound coming from it and it runs my battery down,,,  Again thanks for the nice comments.

Is that serpentine a GM unit or aftermarket?  I want to get one but I'm not a fan of billet or chrome.

I have been looking at serpentine systems and the only ones that seem affordable are the small block ones with the conversion kits. Where did you find yours??

The stamped steel brackets that came on the 90's BBC trucks work fine if you can get your hands on a setup
