C3 Serpentine Conversion

[Dana W.]

Looking to convert my 1976 to a 454, already installed to a serpentine belt setup.
What's the possibility of installing a stock serpentine system without going expensive to the March Systems?

Anyone done this on a C3?
I don't want to cut the cross-member. Before I do that I will go to a Chevelle bracket for the power steering and alternator. Then I will get the Vintage-air A/C setup. Looks like old-school.

All this, if and only if, the serpentine system is too much.


Here is a serpentine I saw on another forum, but it's for SBC on a C3.

Here's a March system, but I really don't want that much bling! Also ,the cross-member has been cut!

Re: C3 Serpentine Conversion

Dana, this site is pretty much dedicated to the restoration of Corvettes to factory original condition (which may explain why you have not yet received a response). You may be better served posting this on the CorvetteForum or DigitalCorvettes. Also, their archives are full of this type of information. Good luck.
