OK people...

 

you have showed this before, I want to replace my March alternator brackets, I keep throwing belts, yes I have the deep pulley.

 

I have seen some low and mid mounts (stock location now) what do you people have????

 

I think Scott Heck & Greg have showed them before

that's what I'm looking for but for a standard belt, and I don't need billet either, just want it to keep the belt put @ 7000 RPM lol

 

No reason to spin a pig block to 7000 grand .... it won't last lol

I'm looking for a mid mount for the alt I think Scott Heck has the one I'm thinking of

 

I'm not throwing the belt until about 6000+ RPM, I have put a smaller crank pulley on it to slow down the alternator, haven't got to run it yet, and I hate that smaller pulley, cooling/charging issues with it, was just hoping to get different brackets without having to spend a small fortune, I still want that 8" Coan converter

probably cause you have stock rods

 

I have a Scat forged crank,6.385 eagle h beam rods, JE forged pistons, and a huge solid roller cam, all balanced out to perfection, doing a burnout it SNAPS to 7000 in a blink of a eye, you can hear it if you click on the burnout video below

I have the march bbc serp system I tried to stay with V belts but no luck. I have had my big block to about 7100, basically the same bottom as sams with a good balance. If your machine shop told you not to go over 6000 you probably have 3/8 rod bolts.

Good factory big block rods had 7/16 boron rod bolts and were very heavy on the big end of the rod.

Hey Sam, sorry it took me so long! Here is my bracket setup, it is the mid-mount from Allen Grove. Moving it lower to the mid-mount setup does make the belt shorter which might help to not throw it--just my guess. Mine will hold the belt on up to 6400, but I can't say what would happen if mine went to 7k! I would assume the belt might stay on, but my rods would probably land on the moon! lol

X2 for Alan Grove. I bought one of their P/S setups for mine. Excellent quality and nice people with good customer service.

Does anyone sell stock-style serpentine pulleys that will directly replace v-belt pulleys? I'd like to keep all my mounting brackets stock and still use my clutch fan. I'm not interested in billet- stamped steel would be fine!

I shift my 496 at 6750 and has seen above 7K before not problem. With a full Roller set up and 2 stages of Nitrous it spins up there quick. I am running the Moroso deep grove pulley with the Alternator in the stock location and it doesn't throw the belt.

I never seen that before.. cool

 

Although that was at a high idle I would have liked to seen it revved up to at least 6000.

Holy cow! Those are some of the coolest things I've seen in a long time! I wish they could make a set that included power steering though!

 

If you check out the website, they have a version that includes a pulley for the power steering..

It looks as if they don't have a power steering version for us "long water pump" folks.

 

Getting back to topic, my parts book from 1971 shows a "reduced diameter crank pulley with deep groove". Chevrolet PN3899660
