serpentine swap

im looking into putting a serpentine set off a 1988 chevy astro van with a 4.3 onto a 1976 sbc 350 does anyone know if it will work?  

dont think so  

any sugg. on a cheap swap  

find a car or truck with a 305 or 350 with a serpintine setup would be the easiest. Camaros and firebirds 82 and up 305/350's and 88 and up chevy or gmc trucks 350's would be a couple of the most common. There are more as well  

jon had it right in the last post...find a later model truck

the 4.3 stuff will probably bolt on to your small block but the stuff from an astro will be taller than what most cars will hold without causing clearance problems with the hood

what ever you get the serp system from, make sure you grab all the little bolts and brackets, you never know what might cause a problem if you don't have all the little parts...it's always easier to throw away the left over than to track down what's needed  

well of course i did lol. also early 90's caprice would have a serpentine.  

Best bet is to find an 88-95 Chevy/GMC 305 or 350 truck. It doesn't have the AIR pump like the cars, and will bolt right on to the front of your 350.
