Assuming the swapper used '85-V8 stuff on the 383, get a belt for a 305.

Re: Alternator Belt for 383

also, they took out the ac compressor and blower motor.... im not really concerned about the ac, but heat would be nice in the winter, is this an easy fix?

Re: Alternator Belt for 383

Should be relatively easy, just put a blower motor back in.
