The alternator, PS pump, and AC compressor, maybe, but not the brackets or water pump.

Re: SBC serpentine on BBC?

MAybe you meant multi rib(alternator, wp and crank)..Yes it will fit..Stock brackets even..Its the ps steering that needed work

If you meant the single belt serpentine then no it wont fit.

Re: SBC serpentine on BBC?

yea guys sorry for not being clear, i did mean the single belt setup that runs all the accessories.
ok cool, i figured it wouldnt work.
hopefully i can find a parts truck w/ a big block in it and use the accesories off it and the brackets.
thanks
Luke

As long as all the pulleys are in line, you can mix and match whatever you want. The hardest part is getting things like the alternator and PS pump lined up since the mounting brackets are not usually the same.
