Question On Installing A Supercharger...?!

quadracer · May 3, 2008

I just obtained a old school B & M 144 blower, and with it it has the 6 rib serpentine pulley, 2 tension pulleys, the blower intake (two and two bolt pattern), and a fuel regulator. I want to be putting this on an 86 GMC with a 350sb w/ 9:1 compression. I know the motor itself will work just fine, but i have some questions about the pulley setup. Currently on the truck i have a stock v- groove belt currently running two different belts. the blower has the serpentine belt so is there anyway i can change one belt on the motor to a serpentine system to run the blower? or the whole system will have to be converted? ( i hope not cuz that gets expensive). thanks

I think you'll need to swap it over to the serpentine. Even on the serpentine setups, the PS pump still runs on the V-groove pulley, so you just need to do the alt, waterpump, fan, ac. (Ok, ONLY...
