Converting to a serpentine driven system is pretty simple, but expensive, and usually does not leave room for a mechanical cooling fan.

Yep, think I’m going to stick with what I’ve got. Definitely on the pricey side.

I'm not sure of the different brands, I think CVF has a conversion kit that uses existing accessories and is less expensive than a full kit with all the accessories.

I think there is another brand mentioned around here too?

The CVF stuff looks good, I was checking their website out during lunch. That being said, thing I’m going to stick with what I’ve got. I did make some more progress this evening. The torsion bar retaining clips and UCA bumpers came in the mail today, so I got the torsion bars stabbed into the LCA’s and new bump stops installed.

Making my road rallyes great again today.

Been a while since I posted updates and did any serious work. Anyways.. Got the 440 in last weekend, 4 speed and all. Spending today getting the z bar and clutch linkage hooked up. The flanged section of the gear vendors tail shaft is hitting the tunnel but that’s a job for the lift. Also painted the 8 3/4, installed new rear shocks, and threw in a new fuel tank and sending unit. Inching a little closer.
