Sent Dan an email and I got an email back from him. He said he is waiting on his patent application to be approved. I told him I had several inquiries about the setup and he asked what kind of cars were they for. (!) I told him. Maybe that means Pontiacs will be first in line when he starts making them.

He's just slow - maybe my email woke him up ...

Thanks for checking with him. Gives more meaning to the phrase 'patent pending'.

Any idea on price?

You said he was looking at two kits, one full one and one with those that would source their own pulleys. Any idea what they're off of?

If these come out in the next few months I'll be very interested in buying the complete kit, rather than getting junkyard parts....searching junkyards for US origin cars isn't an option for me....lol.

It's really too bad that there's been no progress to report in all this time.

I'm sad to report that the developer passed away a few months ago. He had setups developed for all GM small blocks, Ford small blocks. He was working on the big blocks.

I offered to take over the project but his son decided it was potentially lucrative and wanted me to do the work for HIM.

Too bad, it was a cool idea.

Forum member Jimmo,
Developed this Serpentine belt system using junk yard parts.
Quite a long read, but worth it.

I realize this thread is several years old but did anything become of this? From the pic I saw I really like the idler pulley next to the crank pulley to provide more wrap.
