The polished CVF Racing BEAST serpentine conversion kit converts a Ford 429 or 460 big block to an 8-rib serpentine accessory drive running an alternator and Saginaw power steering pump. CVF states its 8-rib pulley design grips better, stretches less and slips less than a typical 6-rib layout. The alternator mounts low on the passenger side.
It is designed to reuse an original or aftermarket clockwise rotation mechanical water pump. The kit is offered with a power steering pulley for a 5/8 in keyway shaft or a 3/4 in press fit shaft and with or without CVF's premium 8-rib serpentine belt(s), selected when ordering.
