Here's the routing for my V-belt, I wouldn't imagine that your's would be too different.

Starts on the Fan Pulley, down to the harmonic balancer, and then to the power steering pump. All while being on the closest groove to the engine.

Does yours look similar? If it keeps coming off you may have a belt that is slightly too big or not tightened properly.

You're welcome! glad to be able to help. I look forward to seeing your car.

My engine started out as a "385 fastburn crate engine" from GM performance. It's a 350 4-bolt main with fastburn aluminum heads. My Father and I installed 1.5 RR's, aluminum water pump, a GMPP Vortec Eliminator single-plane high rise intake, flex fan, and a Holley 750 double pumper carburetor. It's being fed by a Holley Blue fuel pump. By all estimates it should be pushing out right at 400 hp. I have it hooked to a built TH350 trans w/2200 stall converter. Needless to say, it's a blast to drive

What're your plans for your t/a?
