The stealth black 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.
This version is for engines with an electric water pump, so no water pump pulley is included. CVF lists it as working with most aftermarket electric water pumps, including Meziere, Moroso, CVR and PRW. 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.
