Hey Mates,
I just traded e-mails with a guy at Visual Impact Performance Systems and asked him if they were interested in supplying 'us' with a practical serpentine conversion kit and they indicated some interest in providing the Olds kits and is looking into the Caddy kit too.
I believe the right way to go here is stay functional; I don't care about the bling, so it can be anodized black for all I care, but there should be a consensus. What kind of considerations should there be (assuming 100% compatibility) to finish, configuration and how many of you seriously want to make this conversion happen?

Reading the net, and talking to those who have changed over, the OEM water pump turns in the "wrong" direction for the serpentine belt systems that are out there. Leigh Harrison has a new custom built water pump that is designed to turn in the right direction.
No idea on the price.

I'd be interested in the kit for the 403 if it was priced reasonably. Would it
require a water pump change due to the direction the OEM one turns ??
