      There were no factory "true" pontiac motors with serpentine belts that I am aware of. There are a few aftermarket kits for Pontiacs though. I got mine from Rodney Red. But I don't think he makes them anymore. March has a nice setup but $$$.

      wonder is Rodney is still making them. Last I spoke with him, he was working on a revised system. His was also a true self tensioning system whereas March is manually adjusted.

      Here's a pic of Rodney's system on my 455. This was before I switched to Kaufman heads. But system was easy to install.

      not bad looking. wonder how to route the belt with A/C and still have the tensioners w/o adding a bunch of rollers. how close it the tensioner to the crank & h2o pump pulleys? looks rather close.

      I have a March Performance system I pulled off EmptyNest when we did the swap to the Style Trac. I will need to find it, make sure it is complete. Has a few minor shelf scratches. Would be ideal for a driver or for someone wanting to paint one black.

      I will make someone a deal on it. It will be after October 16 when I return from Barrett Jackson before I can gather it up. If your interested send me a email after the 16th of October.

      It is the 13105

      If I remember correctly those pics were taken before I had Rodney remake the pully bracket to give more clearance. It was pretty tight before. Reminds me I need to take new pics.

      A friend wanted the March system, many years ago. The price, at teh time, was VERY steep. He owned his own business, called them, they set him up as a "distributor", and the price dropped SEVERAL hundreds of dollars.

      Food for thought, for anyone interested.

      Get billet specialties tru-trac system for Pontiacs. Yes it is expensive but it is trouble free. I have the March System in my car and it is a pain, I don't flame companies so thats all i'm going to say about it.
