Independent Rear Suspension

Extra Shiny!

NOW YOU CAN GET AN EDDIE MOTORSPORTS S-DRIVE SERPENTINE PULLEY DRIVE SYSTEM IN THE company’s extra-shiny Bright Clearcoat finish. It’s a high-gloss polished finish sealed with Eddie’s ultra-durable Fusioncoat clearcoat used in the marine industry. Nobody is going to outshine your engine compartment with an S-Drive system under your hood—and Eddie Motorsports says it costs no more than a system without the clearcoat.

The S-Drive systems work every bit as good as they look, too. Engine accessories—water pump, alternator, power steering pump and A/C compressor—are driven by a six- or eight-rib serpentine belt depending on the application. The pulleys and brackets are CNC-machined aluminum, and all fasteners are stainless steel. You also get a high-quality Gates belt tensioner, and systems for GM LS engines come with an SFI-approved harmonic balancer.

Eddie Motorsports S-Drive serpentine pulley drive systems are available for these engines:
