Hi - can any identify this serpentine pulley?
At first I thought it was a MST reshaped, but the lower pulley is thicker and there does appear to be name on the top pulley?
Nice engine too!

Oh oh..pick me pick me.. I know.. I know ...  
It may be a "stretchy" belt.. and yes.. that's a modern thing these days...

In reality.. its probably just a regular serpentine belt .. specific size to clean up the pretty powder puff engine even more by eliminating the tensioner.
Look for a printed label on the belt.. it will generally have a break down by rib count and length.

Yes it has no idler - it's possible with the correct size belt to drop the alternator and fan into place to tension it - of course more for the look rather than the functionality - being a show car to do something different.
Here's an example I did from a couple of years ago..
Back on topic - anyone know what pulley that is please? |
