Hey guys, I have a serpentine system from a 2000 Oldsmobile bravada with a vortex v6, A/C, power steering, alternator and water pump. Would this belt system bolt on to my SBC 383 on my 82 Malibu?
 
OK, so I pulled the system off the bravada. But before I try and install the system in my Malibu I'd really like to know if it fits before I pull off the V belt system. I can't seem to find any information on doing this swap with this year pulley set. Any help? Thanks
 
Besides using a serpentine setup from a V-8 Camaro...(3rd generation, if I'm not mistaken) or V-6 S10. The Bravada is based on the S10 Blazer, if I recall correctly. I think a V-8 Chevy pickup would be another candidate.
You'll also need a reverse flow water pump if you do go with the serp setup.

Can anyone else chime in with more fact.
 
Yes the v in the bravada is a 4.3L and will bolt directly to what you have. It's really similar to my setup. I'm running one off a 91 c1500. Same concept. Have no worries. A 4.3 is a 350 missing 2 cylinders

My setup
