Long Alternator and Power Steering Drive Bracket for LS Engines
When an LS engine swap requires extra crankshaft setback installers often struggle with pulley misalignment leading to belt wear or slippage. This Alternator and Power Steering Drive - Long bracket repositions alternator and pump pulleys to factory GM mounting points while ensuring precise belt alignment at any rpm. Crafted from US billet aluminum and hardened steel alloys the bracket resists corrosion and retains its geometry under heat soak and engine vibration. Installers value the direct fit for medium and long balancer setups across GM trucks and vans plus the included grade 8 hardware and clear guide for a swift error free installation.
Precision Machining for Accurate Pulley Geometry
The bracket is CNC machined to tolerances within a few thousandths of an inch, positioning the alternator and steering pump pulleys at exact GM mounting points. This precision fit prevents common belt tracking issues such as glazing and slippage at elevated engine speeds. Consistent pulley geometry maintains even tension across the belt, supporting smooth accessory drive operation from idle through peak RPM. By removing the need for trial adjustments, installers can achieve correct alignment on the first attempt, reducing setup time and minimizing premature belt wear.
Alloy Construction that Resists Corrosion and Heat
Key housing components are crafted from US billet aluminum while mounting brackets use hardened steel alloys. Aluminum provides low weight and withstands heat soak within a confined engine bay, and the steel alloy retains shape under vibration and torque loads. A protective surface finish further guards against moisture and road chemicals, preventing oxidation that can compromise fit. This combination of materials preserves bracket geometry over extended service cycles, ensuring consistent performance in demanding underhood environments.
Versatile Balancer Support for Medium and Extended Spacings
This drive bracket is engineered to fit both medium and extended crank balancer setbacks without additional adapters. It accommodates the extra spacing required by custom engine mounts or modified frames, restoring alignment to factory belt paths. Compatibility with a range of GM two wheel drive trucks, vans, and utility vehicles streamlines parts selection across diverse swaps. Builders benefit from a single solution that adapts to different crankshaft offsets, reducing inventory needs and simplifying project planning.
Comprehensive Hardware Pack and Illustrated Guide for Swift Setup
The complete package includes grade 8 fasteners chosen for optimal thread engagement and resistance to shear under vibration. Every bolt, washer, and spacer is specified to match the bracket geometry and load requirements, eliminating the need to source extra parts. The illustrated guide provides clear torque specifications and belt routing diagrams, walking installers through each stage of the process. As a result, even technicians with limited swap experience can achieve a clean installation in one session, cutting overall build time and avoiding costly downtime.
Engineered for a precise fit and lasting performance in any LS swap steering installation, this bracket ensures consistent belt alignment.
