Front Accessory Pulley Kit?

[JEB 44]

I'm going to install a SBC 350 in my truck and I wonder if anyone can suggest a front accessory pulley kit that will clear the hood and side panels.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the March 21100 on my Blueprint SBC, but it must be an earlier model because the ones I see now have a tensioner whiich I don't have on mine. I only have the A/C compressor and alternator on my bracket (electric P/S). Not running fenders or side panels but it looks like there wouldn't be any clearance issues with either. The March stuff is pricey but looks great. Sorry I coudn't be more help.

Thanks for the response. I think I'm going to build my own serpentine system and include a tensioner.

Others will probably chime in but I think a more "open" (from a cooling airflow perspective) bracket might be a better choice.

A V8 engine in a smallish engine bay gets hot enough as it is.

P.S. My go-to pulley/accessory company is CVF. Great customer service!

Thanks for the feedback. If it gets hot I'll just build another. Never enough projects.

Amen!

The day the projects stop, I stop, LOL.

PS. I guess you could start punching openings into that bad boy to let the air flow through better.

That's true. But I'm a looooong way from the point of being able to see what happens inside the finished truck!

March Pulley system 21100 and don't use the tensioner. The Alt and Comp have enough slide adjustments to do away with the tensioner
