No, it will not fit. It mounts on the passenger side with a bracket that's designed to fit the v-belt system.

You do have at least one option here. There are several people here that want to change over to the later model (88-up)TPI serpentine belt setup.

I am one of those people.

Maybe we can work out a trade of parts or something.
Then you can use the system for 85-87 TPI engines.
