Hi all,

I am looking to pick up a full bracket/pulley system for my 455. I can only find two systems, March and Mondello. I need the full set up...Polished PS pump/res, A/C brackets, pulleys, brackets etc.
Has anyone used either? Does anyone know of another source?

Thanks

I think this guy is making them although they probably aren't as pretty as the March ones.

I assume you're doing this for looks because I've never heard a positive response on the benefits of serpentine belts on a 455

I purchase mine through Mondellos .I am very happy with it. At the time Mondellos did not have a single belt system and March did,but I had heard from several people there were problems with the single belts so I decided to go with the 3 belt system.Works great and looks Super.Very lite weight compared to the stock brackets.

Yes, its mostly cosmetic and the fact that my new Performer RPM intake has no mounting holes for my current alt brackets. I did contact the fellow listed above a few months ago but he didn't seem like he was interested in selling anything, I think they are still working on it.

I wouldn't buy anything from Mondello.

I really would rather not due to all the horror stories I have heard but I don't have a lot of options. I can't find anyone running the march set up to see how well it works.

Well, the versions that use a bazillion idler pulleys instead of a reverse rotation water pump likely have MORE HP loss than stock, just because of the increased friction.

All bling, no sting.

Hello Everyone...I am in the process of making the same decision...which way did you go and are you happy with it?
