i like runnin the v belts because  on my set up  i have 2 belts runnin on my water pump. so  if for some reason it throws  the belt for the ps  or alternator my water pump still turns and keeps the motor cool.   happened to me a few times in a trail ride on my sb i had in there  and i figured id do the same when i put hte big block in it
