2.8 serpentine pulleys on a V8

Will the serpentine pulleys on a 2.8 ltr MPFI work on a TPI?

i don't know for sure but it seems to me they should. it would make things easier for gm if all the pullies interchanged. most parts like that i've swapped around in the past were no problem to make work.

I don't think that they will work as a direct bolt on. I've got the motors sitting side by side in my shop and the 2.8's look totally different. I'm not saying that it can't be done just that they don't appear to be the same.

Nope, they're different. I think the only one you could use is the alternator pulley.
