Hi all. Im putting an M42 engine from an E36 coupe into an E21 Baur. Im organised for sump etc now but I have 1 question in particular. This engine has a serpentine belt which drives the power steering pump. I dont need this, so any clues on a smaller serpentine belt ? I really dont want to change all my pulleys to v belt. Thanks, Neil

Measure the route you want it to take with string then go to halfords and buy a belt the right length.
