Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 977 2005 Pontiac GTO LS2 8-Rib Drive Billet Aluminum Power Steering Pulley, 1st Design, Innovators West. This billet aluminum power steering pulley is designed for the first-design 2005 Pontiac GTO equipped with the LS2 engine and converts the power steering drive to an 8-rib serpentine belt setup. Innovators West identifies this pulley as the replacement for the original 5-inch power steering pulley used on early-production 2005 GTOs.

If you're putting an 8-rib drive on an LS2 GTO, this is one of those pieces that needs to be right. The power steering pulley has to match the belt, accessory layout, and crank drive or the whole front of the motor is going to fight you. The 977 gives the GTO's power steering drive a proper billet 8-rib pulley, keeping the belt engagement where it belongs and giving the accessory drive the hardware it needs to handle a serious LS setup.

The 977 has a 5.350-inch overall diameter, 5.100-inch serpentine rib diameter, and .668-inch pulley bore. It is specifically for the 1st-design 2005 LS2 GTO, using the original 5-inch power steering pulley configuration, up to VIN L491216. OEM replacement numbers associated with this application are 92218309 and 92066499.
