340 Pulley Setup

[cudacruiser]

Well, somehow I managed to lose the pulleys when I had it rebuilt. Looking on Summit it has some options but then I saw a few March setups. Seems like the factory brackets were a bit sketchy on the front rack. I'm wondering if I should take this opportunity to upgrade?  '73 Cuda 340 with PS and AC. Any advice appreciated.

March bracket systems are terrible for squealing like a pig...

Are you wanting a stock, original look or are you open to something different?

Well, I put on a gap intake and Holley and have some black mopar valve covers so stock is out at this point.

  Something I've considered.... choice of a couple of finishes & have both types of belt systems.   https://www.cvfracing.com/chrysler/small-block-chrysler-273-318-340-360/

The CVF site has what appears may be March pulleys for their kits which makes it easier to get things right. You may want to consider going to a serpentine small-block setup. The serpentine-style belts (Gilmer-toothed cogged belts) are superior to V-belts. These are two belt systems with turnbuckles. Set the tension and forget about it. These kits get pricey very quickly once you add PS, Alternator, and Sanden A/C pulleys.

I purchased the March setup over 20 years ago from Summit but for a big-block. Back then the serpentine setup was only offered in clearcoat aluminum but I had them powder coated black. Very subdued and I rarely hear anyone comment on my setup versus V-belts.
Seems Summit has several options for small-block serpentine kits: https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/pulley-kits?SortBy=BestKeywordMatch&SortOrder=Ascending&keyword=mopar%20340&page=1

Here is my setup and the CVF small-block setup in Black.
