Short Drive Alternator and Power Steering Pump for LS Engine Swaps
Projects that call for an LS engine swap often struggle with crowded accessory drives and the Alternator and Power Steering Drive w/Pump - Short addresses this by combining the alternator, pump and reservoir into a single package. Designed to fit common GM platforms like Corvette and CTS-V, this compact assembly aligns pump and alternator pulleys precisely using included hardware to eliminate belt misalignment. Without requiring welding, installation follows factory patterns and preserves space in tight engine compartments.
Integrated Pump and Reservoir Architecture
This compact assembly combines the power steering pump and fluid reservoir into a unified unit, streamlining fluid routing and reducing potential leak points. By housing both elements together, hose runs are shorter and more direct, which simplifies maintenance and minimizes clutter in tight engine bays. The built in reservoir is engineered to maintain a consistent fluid supply even under heavy steering loads, ensuring reliable assistance on demanding drives. Eliminating separate components also frees up valuable space around the block, making this design ideal for confined LS swap installations.
Precision Engine Bay Fit with Plug In Hardware
Every bracket and pulley in this drive system is precision machined to match common LS bellhousings and medium length balancers, ensuring an exact OEM style fit. Included alignment hardware secures both alternator and pump pulleys in perfect plane, preventing belt misalignment and premature wear. Because the design follows factory mounting patterns, installers can complete the swap without welding, reducing installation time and the chance of error. This bolt in approach delivers consistent results across Corvette, CTS-V and S-10 platforms.
Optimized Belt Path for Enhanced Performance
Engineers positioned the alternator and pump within a tight envelope to create the shortest practical belt path, which minimizes parasitic drag on the crankshaft. This design translates into crisper throttle response and smoother accessory operation, especially under load. Reduced belt tension losses also help maintain steady voltage output and steering assistance at high RPM. Drivers will notice improved throttle feedback along with lower drive noise thanks to the streamlined layout.
American Made Durability and Corrosion Resistance
Manufactured in the USA under strict quality control protocols, this drive system is built from robust, corrosion resistant materials selected for lasting service. Each unit is inspected for straightness and fit before shipping, ensuring reliable performance across multiple GM models. The reservoir cap and hoses meet automotive fluid standards to resist degradation over time, while mounting plates retain rigidity under heavy steering loads. This commitment to craftsmanship delivers dependable operation mile after mile.
