Short Alternator and Power Steering Drive for LS Engine Swaps
If you face cramped engine bays when swapping in an LS V8 the Alternator and Power Steering Drive - Short solves tight accessory clearance by mounting both components within a compact footprint. By matching short balancer pulleys from Corvette and Cadillac CTS V engines it locks alternator and pump pulleys on parallel planes to guard against belt slip and uneven wear under varied driving loads. Installation asks no custom adapters thanks to precision CNC machining, comprehensive hardware and manufacturing in the USA which align perfectly on popular GM swap platforms including Monte Carlo bodies and two wheel drive trucks for a clean reliable setup.
Parallel Plane Pulley Alignment for Consistent Belt Tension
The Alternator and Power Steering Drive - Short leverages matched short balancer pulleys from Corvette and Cadillac CTS V engines to position both the alternator and pump pulleys on the same plane. This alignment prevents lateral belt movement and mitigates the risk of slip under varying engine speeds and steering loads. By maintaining a stable tension profile, the system extends belt life and preserves charging and steering performance during spirited driving or heavy towing. The precise pulley geometry also reduces noise and vibration, delivering a more refined feel in engines transplanted into compact bays.
Adaptable Fit Across Monte Carlo, S-10, and Truck Platforms
Engineered for wide compatibility, this drive bracket installs cleanly in Monte Carlo bodies, S-10 frames, and two wheel drive truck chassis without the need for custom adapters. Its compact footprint tucks neatly beneath stock accessory covers, ensuring clearance for hoods and inner fenders while preserving factory styling lines. The bracket's geometry matches factory mounting points, eliminating trial and error during part selection and reducing mock-up time on the bench. Whether you're tackling a street restoration or an off-road build, this solution streamlines the swap process by aligning perfectly with popular GM LS engine applications.
Premium Materials and American Craftsmanship for Durability
Constructed from robust, premium-grade alloy that withstands heat cycles and mechanical loads, the bracket resists fatigue across thousands of miles of service. Its corrosion-resistant finish defends against road salt, moisture and debris, ensuring the assembly remains true to spec even in harsh climates. Proudly made in the United States, each unit undergoes rigorous machining and inspection processes to meet tight tolerance thresholds. This commitment to quality translates into a durable assembly you can depend on for reliable charging output and steering response over the life of the installation.
Comprehensive Hardware and Guide for Hassle-Free Installation
Delivered as a complete package, the kit includes every bolt, spacer and washer required for a seamless installation-no last-minute trips to the hardware store. A clear, step by step guide outlines bracket placement, torque recommendations and belt routing procedures to eliminate guesswork. By supplying fully compatible fasteners and detailed instructions, the package reduces assembly time and minimizes the chance of fitment errors. Installers can achieve correct alignment and tension on the first attempt, translating to fewer shop hours and a more reliable swap outcome.
