Getting ready install accessories in my project 86 iroc, these are the brackets I found in a box, I’ve swapped from 305 to a L31 350. Can I use these or is there a better option ? I will be running A/C. Thanks.
go to your local junk yard and pull off a serpentine system from nearly any S10 4.3, fullsize truck 4.3 or V8 and have a much better accessory system overall.
86-down brackets work on 87-up heads. (Obviously, as 87 V8 third gens used the same brackets.)
87-up heads have additional bolt holes, which allows the 88-92 third gen (88-93 B and D-body) brackets to bolt up as original. This serpentine set up is nice, and easier to service. I changed my 87 to 88-92 parts years back.
