FridgeFreezer Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Is it possible to put a serp. crank pulley on a non-serpentine V8? I know nothing else will be right, that's not a problem, I just wanna know if the serp pulley will bolt on without having to do timing cover & sump. Edited to add: The lump is a 4.6 if that makes a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 There is an unused serpentine pully on my V8 crank along with the two V pullys which are in use. Dunno what the serpentine pully is off or what it's doing on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 Sounds like it could be handy - got a piccy or any idea of part number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I will take a pic later when I get home. No idea of part number as it was on there when I get the engine, it was Chelsea Tractor's old engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, Chealsea Tractor's engine was/is a 4.2l straight from an LSE - perhaps for an A/C pump? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I was led to understand it had been rebuilt with a new block when the original one cracked/went porous, so don't know if anything was changed at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is was, I saw it getting done. The block, bearings etc. are only a couple of thousand miles old. Crank and rods are the original 4.2 items. Not sure about pistons - I guess they are 4.2 specific so are not new. IIRC the short block was brand new, not a re-con and was F*****g expensive!

So far I've got an alternator from a serpentine LSE (accidentally - bought the wrong one) and a timing cover, so quite a few bits still to aquire, some of them likely to be pricey and/or difficult to get hold of.

Tomcat Nev Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Yes it can be done - ask my dad he has done it. Trouble is i do know what needs to be done, so am being of little use - sorry! Nev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
