I was mocking up the belt drive on my 327 and kept running into alignment issues. Adding power steering and A/C to a chassis not designed for it added to the limitations. I finally decided to run a serpentine drive, a call to the folks at March Performance and the pulleys I needed were on there way. I still wanted to have the look of a period correct belt drive so I opted to not use a tensioner. Time will tell if I did good.
