A few things for me to think about for a couple of updates for the fall (yeah, I know, it's only spring but $$ need to be set aside)

Ever since I "did" my engine with 'V' belt pulleys and that single dinky narrow belt, I've been wondering if I should have opted for a serpentine system.

I have conventional accessories - water pump and alternator and a standard 4 bolt crank pulley. Has anyone tried to use a serp system on a 302/5.0 with standard rotation? Preferably without the tensioner/idler pulley as I really hate to put that kind of tension on those 'regular' water pump and alternator bearings if I don't have to? I've seen the March pulley set - and really don't care for the manufacturing (Chinese?) quality, so any manufacturer recommendations? Nor do I want underdrive - the car is not a race car but a driver and there is ALWAYS a traffic jam on the hottest day of the year.
