so has anyone converted to a serpentine belt setup from an FD?
Interesting, I am only running Two alt pullies so that wouldn't help me out at all, But heck, It may be worth a shot to the fellers running the A/C and P?S and Airpump.... Try it out.
From what I've read, the waterpump pumps the opposite way to an FC so you'd have to change to an FD waterpump (or delete the waterpump and use an electric pump). I never found out about the powersteering pulley though as I have mine removed. But the alternator and crank should switch.
Could cause problems, the fd used a larger thrust bearing which help resist bending loads on the end of the e-shaft.(ie; serpentine belts) I don't know what the increase in load(if any) on the e-shaft is when changing from vbelts to serpentine. Just passing on info that was given to me when I inquired about buying a 3rd gen kit and installing it on my 2nd gen.
Hope it helps.
