Default I don't know what pulley I need!

I'm in the process of putting together my first build. It is an LQ9. The alternator and bracket I have are from a 5.3. I want to mount my alternator down low, and won't be running any other accessories off other than the alternator. Im looking into ATI. Which part number should I be looking at?

This is in a foxbody by the way. Thank you.

The size of the engine doesn't have anything to do with the offset of the pulleys. Saying your brackets "are from a 5.3" means absolutely nothing. If you don't know what vehicle they came from, you're shooting in the dark.

LQ9's and 5.3's all start out as truck engines. So they also all start out with the same accessory/belt setups. Tell us where your stuff came from.

I just ended up getting an f body pulley since I plan to use an alternator relocation bracket that works with the F body spec pulley
