I'm guessing there was some confusion. I moved it back and clarified the title. Good luck. Does it have all the serpentine parts with it?

Pics always Help sell things.

more pics sell things quicker and with less questions.

these aren’t common engines and I know I would like to see detailed pics of the serpentine setup and the engine itself

good luck with your sale!

Keep in mind that the FWD accessory drive is different from the RWD accessory drive, so I'm not sure this serpentine translates to a V8 (the serpentine from a RWD V6 diesel WILL transfer). The FWD cars limited the length of the transverse engine, so the crank pulley is integral to the balancer. The FWD water pump is also different from the RWD V6 diesel water pump.

Yeah, it should be the 60 deg "metric" bolt pattern, same as used on the 2.8 liter Chevy V6 and the Buick 3800 Series II and III blocks. You can actually bolt this to the RWD 700R4 used in the S10 and 3rd gen F-body cars with the 2.8.
