Did some searching and found this conversion kit to adapt early 90's small block serpentine belt and pulleys to big block http://www.kwikperf.com/index.html

I just went V-belts on my new motors. I can see totally on a car that runs the same belt for 2000 hours, but how many of us put more than 20-40 hours per year on the boat?

ding ding ding.....

serpentine vs v belt
 

Thanks again for all of the response!!! Ordered SHP block on wed. Pulled old mtr. on fri. Hope it's going to be a good winter. Once again thanks and watch for other threads. R.

Cliff,

How would you run a sea water pump with that kit?

4bus,

Good question that I have been giving some thought, the only thing that comes to mind right now is using the old stlye sea pump with the "clamp" bracket and machine the serpetine pulley as nessecary, if any to fit. The reason for using the old stlye clamp bracket is it would allow me to move the the pulley out for belt aligment.
