Im sure it can be done or has been done. The question other than noise and no belt slip is why?
They sound tough yes, but the effort involved to get custom length serp belt with integrated teeth and pulleys with integrated teeth would be difficult and somewhat costly. Unless there is an off the shelf kit available, I wouldn't bother.

I'd consider looking at adjusting your current serp setup first to see if you can stop the slip. But I can see why the appeal is there.

CAPA do a universal pulley kit. You would have to work out what pulley sizes you needed and also work out what length of belt is required. But it is possible. Just not cheap. I say keep ya cash and look at alternate options. Perhaps some kind of additive or solvent to put on the belt to maintain grip.

yes I wouldnt be counting on a lot of room with the thermo's in the way. I think it would take some time, accurate measurements and patience to make a custom fit. Not impossible, but doable. The pulleys will most likely be custom turned and made to order. Depends on how much money you have to blow.
