Hey guys,
I am almost done rebuilding a 5.7 355 and need to find a junkyard accessory drive. I am running 906 vortec heads. Do any of you know a vehicle I can pick an accessory drive from that will work? My block casting number is 3970010. I think I can get one from a 1500, but wanted some wisdom in council. Thanks.

When you say accessory-drive, do you mean:
-The Pulleys
-The Brackets
-All of the Accessories (Alternator, PS Pump, AC Compressor, Etc)
Or do you just want Brackets and Pulleys?

Either. If I can get the brackets I can buy the other components later. Although I'd be fine with getting all of the accessories with it, if that's possible. Do you have any ideas where I could do either of those options?

What vehicle is the engine going in and what induction system are you going to be using?
A TPI or other induction system that has a throttle body located about the same place as a TPI system is going to need a serpentine accessory drive system from a TPI car if using a factory system.

It's going to be a carburetor. It's going in an 89 Camaro RS.

I'm a fan of the 88-92 serp setups also used in caprice of those years or there abouts.

That is the same system that GM Performance sells. The 88-92 are the same TBI or TPI. Will work with a carb as well. Had one on my 80 Corvette. Only had to use an underdrive crank pulley on it to clear the front crossmember and it went right on.Originally Posted by TTOP350
