FatMan Fabrications is Back Amidst Olds Fanfare
Southern Rods & Parts new owners, Barry & Jaime Hester, are excited to announce the strategic acquisition of FatMan Fabrications intellectual property. FatMan Fabrications is a well- established leader in the automo- tive aftermarket industry known
for their extensive coverage and high-quality parts. This acquisition allows Southern Rods & Parts to build on this legacy while expanding their capabilities and products. Customers can expect the same exceptional service and quality FatMan provided.
Southern Rods & Parts most recent development includes an all-inclusive “WRAPTORTM 8- Track Serpentine System” for Oldsmobile 350, 403 and 455 Rocket engines. The stylish main mounting bracket comes with a 140-amp alternator, GM Type II power steering pump and ‘peanut style’ AC compressor. The setup places the alternator on the driver’s side above the power steering pump. CVF Racing’s 8-rib serpentine pulleys increase grip, reduce stretching and prevent slippage compared to traditional 6-rib designs. A spring-loaded Gates tensioner ensures proper tension during hard acceleration and decelera- tion while compensating for belt stretch. The kit includes a chrome plated AC compressor and clutch cover, chrome alu- minum GM Type II power steer- ing pump with remote reservoir bracket, 140-amp chrome CS130 alternator and all pulleys with chrome covers designed for a Gates Premium 8-rib belt. Works with either mechanical or electric fuel pump and cooling fan and uses either the factory 6” or 5.6” long factory water pump not included. Southern Rods & Parts 800-STRTROD www.southernrods.com
