Serp. belt conversions really worth it?
I've been kicking around converting my 454 thats going back into the 24Super. It will run $1300 and I've been trying to figure out if its actually worth it?
I've never had to deal with throwing belts on this setup, so thats not really a concern.. going to set the limiter at 5600rpms, so should be fine- not turning more rpms than before.. just more power.

The bummer with the serp belt is that if it does break, everything is gone.
At least with a v-belt you might be able to limp on back w/o power steering or whatever...
Unless you have a twin
