We're going to treat you to a sneak peek this month. For several months, we've been building Carroll Shelby a 427ci Windsor small-block at Trans Am Racing in Gardena, California. Shelby's stroker project, plagued by bothersome custom-engine building issues, has encountered one delay after another. For example, a custom billet, prototype Cobra road race oil pan from Trans Am Racing has been one of the issues that has caused delays. This striking oil pan may wind up a production piece if Mark Jeffrey of Trans Am Racing has his way. More on this later.
The finishing touch on Shelby's 427ci small-block is a serpentine-belt-drive system from March Performance. Because Shelby's '66 GT350 convertible doesn't have power steering, conversion to a March serpentine-belt-drive system will be simple. But, even if Shelby's Shelby had power steering, March makes it easy to convert to serpentine-belt drive. Serpentine-belt drive spreads the workload over a broader area of a wider pulley system. This makes for a longer-lasting belt that will not slip.
When you order your March Performance serpentine-belt-drive system or any other March Performance part, be specific about your application. Tell March your engine type, model year, accessories, everything! You may have an odd-duck application that may call for the use of certain pulley types and spacing. Your March pulleys must be in perfect alignment or belt deterioration and failure will occur.
