Re: serpentine system for FE
I will try to answer all your questions - first how much - don't know because I just got it built - never thought that the FE engine was being built anymore -
lead time - about a week - pulleys - 4 or 5 depending on AC or not
unique parts - short water pump with reverse impeller -
problems - don't know of any - been doing this for 11 years -
belts - common standard belt bought at Carquest.
I know nothing about this person other than what is written above. If you want to pursue it with him, his email address is given.
Good Luck
