Vortec 88-92 TPI S-Trim blower question

Part Number:
4GF218-068SQ 88-92 5.0 & 5.7 TPI F-Body w/V-2 SQ S-Trim, Polished

It says its for an 88-92

Will it work for an 85? What problems will i encounter?

The main issue is that kit, and most all other f-body tpi supercharger kits, are designed around the serpentine accesory setup that is found on the 88-92 f-bodies. Yours, assuming it's still stock, has a v-belt setup. There are a couple of ways to get around this...do a search, it's been hashed out on here numerous times.

ok ive read up on it and see what u mean.

When the time come sill probably try find some second-hand 88+ pulleys or some aftermarket ones failing that.

And ill get the shop to install it all at the sametime as the blower, wud be a lot easier.

is that the only thing i gotta worry about?
