What kinda motor? If its a 350 you can pull the accesory bracket off of a tbi motor and a tbi water pump and a tbi crank pully.

any 4.3 or 5.7 will work on sbc

if you have a big block you will need the system off a big block, if you have a small block you need the system off a small block or a 4.3

get some belts with no notches on them. on the bottom or the v part of the belt. what is happening is the notches grab the pulley and walk up the pulley at high rpm and come off.

Remember if you go serp belt you need a new water pump the v belt style pump is different.

Let me guess,you keep tossing the alt. belt.  The pulleys aren't lined up correctly.  It works fine for every day driving, but get it over 5500 rpm's and they come off.   The easiest fix is finding a serp set up off a 86-87 bbc.  the flat belt only ran the alt and water pump.  it still uses the standard water pump.   You can buy a aftermarket set of pulleys that actually line up.

My fathers pulling truck has a real bad problem throwing belts. Stay on fine getting it off the trailer and lining up to the sled but the moment he puts the coals to it it throws them and i was needing cure to fix his and solutions to mine so they wont fling them. Would hate to throw a belt miles back in the woods
