serpentine belt drive, all the brackets are from a 95 s10 blazer,ps pump from the car,cs 130 d alternator ford crank pully,the crank pully was welded a little in the center and turned to the right size so it is hub centric and the 4 new holes drilled

Nice build! Those transmission fixtures come in handy. Nothing like trying to pull out those retaining rings as you chase the transmission housing all over the table!
