Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 970 GM 8-Rib Drive Billet Aluminum Alternator Pulley, Innovators West. This billet aluminum alternator pulley is designed for GM LS accessory-drive applications using an 8-rib serpentine belt. It provides a direct way to convert or upgrade the alternator drive to an 8-rib setup when building an LS 8-rib accessory drive.

When you're putting together an 8-rib LS belt drive, the alternator pulley can't be the odd man out. This is a CNC-machined billet piece built to match the rest of the 8-rib hardware and keep the belt drive looking and working like a properly planned system. It's the kind of detail that matters when you're piecing together a serious LS accessory drive instead of mixing random pulleys and hoping everything lines up.

The 970 is machined from billet aluminum and uses an 8-rib belt profile. It is intended for use with compatible GM/LS alternator applications and is commonly used as part of Innovators West 8-rib Corvette and LS accessory-drive conversion systems.
