Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 994-KIT LS7 Corvette 8-Rib Drive Conversion Kit with Standard-Diameter Damper, Innovators West. This kit converts the compatible LS7 Corvette accessory drive to an 8-rib belt system and includes a standard-diameter harmonic damper.

If you're building an LS7 that sees plenty of RPM and plenty of throttle, getting more belt around the pulleys is a smart move. The 8-rib conversion gives the accessory drive more belt contact and helps keep things under control when the engine is being worked hard. This is a good setup for a serious naturally aspirated LS7 or a combination where you want the stronger 8-rib drive without adding crank overdrive.

The 994-KIT is built around the LS7 Corvette accessory-drive layout and uses a standard-diameter damper, keeping the crank pulley ratio at the standard diameter rather than speeding up the accessory drive. The kit includes the major pulleys and components needed to make the 8-rib conversion.
