Choose the Right Accessory Drive for Your Chevy

Whether you're starting an engine swap, updating an existing belt drive or replacing individual components, begin with your engine family. Then narrow your options by water pump arrangement, accessory requirements and available space in your engine bay.

Starting with New Accessories?

Explore the all-inclusive serpentine systems available for your engine. Review the selected configuration to confirm which accessories are supplied and how the system positions them.

Keeping Your Existing Accessories?

Look for a pulley and bracket kit that matches the components you plan to reuse. Compare accessory mounting styles, water pump requirements and pulley alignment before choosing your kit.

Chevy Accessory Drive FAQs

Should I shop by engine or vehicle?

Start with the engine currently installed in your vehicle. For a swap or modified build, the original vehicle year and model may not identify the accessory drive parts you need. Check vehicle clearance separately from engine compatibility.

What should I check before ordering a serpentine kit?

Confirm your engine application, water pump arrangement, required accessories and the selected system's dimensions. Compare the accessory layout with the available space around your frame, steering, suspension and radiator.

How do I identify a short or long water pump?

Our long vs. short water pump guide explains how to identify and measure your pump. Use that information alongside the selected product's fitment requirements.

What information helps CVF recommend a system?

Have your engine details, water pump type, existing accessory information and any clearance measurements ready. Photos of the front of your engine can also help our team understand your setup.
