Serpentine Conversion???

[THE STIG]

Has anyone ever done this? I've got a 440 in my 70 Charger and was wanting to add A/C when the time comes and I stumbled on these guys http://www.marchperf.com/styletrack_440hemi.html in one of the Mopar mags but I'm not seeing any prices. The only thing I've seen with regard to price is that March advertises that they run about $700 less than thier competitors, so with that I'm assuming the dollar amount will have a comma in it. Has anyone done this? Can you give me a ball park as to what to expect price wise?

Summit has them, prices for this kit start just shy of $1,800

That's kinda what I was thinking

Ooooh, yeah, their front runner "Revolver" kits are pricey. They come with everything, waterpump and housing, alternator, P/S pump, A/C compressor, and all the pulleys. They have a more reasonably priced serpentine conversion kit for about $575.00 from Summit.

I think that big bow thingy in aluminum from March looks very gay, who wants two big aluminum horns on the front of their engine just for one belt? At least this is MY line of thinking; plus, two belts on the Alternator and A/C pump looks trick -- and it's factory! I think the biggest turn off for me on this is the price they want; ouch!
